The textures of Pumpkins and Jack o' Lanterns have the same texture on the bottom and the top.
I think that maybe the recent change with resource packs, or possibly the new 1.5 texture file system has bugged the reference to the Pumpkin and Jack o' Lantern bottom file, as I have not noticed any texture glitches in previous versions.

Ever since pumpkins came out they have always showed the stem on the bottom as well as the top... I've been working on textures packs for my own use since forever and there has never been a bottom texture for the pumpkin. it even states on the wiki:
■The bottom of a pumpkin has a stem as well as the top. This is likely a bug
Which even though its noted that its likely a bug, its been like that since the insception of the Pumpklin (note the attached image of the 1.3 terrain.png which isn't far off from when pumpkins were introduced). there is no bottom texture.
@Th3F4114n0n3:
Yep, there was never a pumpkin bottom texture in Minecraft, so it's not a bug. If you want a pumpkin bottom texture in your texturepack, just use CTM and define method=fixed and faces=bottom in your properties files.
However, it would be nice to have a pumpkin (and melon !) bottom texture in vanilla too. Since Minecraft is using single-file textures for blocks, it would be pretty easy to add more advanced textures for blocks in general (e.g. for pistons, pumpkins, fences, buttons, pressure plates, .....). Using one texture for several different blocks was necessary to save space in the old terrain.png tile-sheet, but is obsolete as of Minecraft 1.5. Mojang even promised to add "more advanced" textures for several blocks, but all we got was separated carrot/potato plant textures. They could have done more at this point ....
Um.... thats cause there is no bottom texture to pumpkins... This is how pumpkins have always been since implemeted.
Pretty Sure it was intended to make it easier
