A redstone piston positioned to push up will not retract when the block pushed is a redstone block. If the redstone block, that is being pushed, is destroyed, the piston retracts.
When tested in a horizontal configuration, this works as expected. It also works when the piston is set to push down.
When tested with a stone block as the payload, the piston functions as expected and retracts when power is removed.
A small scale test is demonstrated in the attached photos.
Photo One: Piston is not powered in the original configuration
Photo Two: Power is applied. The piston extends and pushes the redstone block up.
Photo Three: Power is removed but the piston remains extended.

Tails, THIS IS A BUG. MC-108 only talks about piston extension in 1.4.5, not the latest snapshot/update which pertains to redstone blocks. This bug is also present in 1.6.2. Please as a member of the community re-investigate the bug, and if needed, ask me for a bug report. Thank you.
