Blocks can generate on top of the dripleaf plant and cause the top to disappear (the stem still stays) and it causes an awkward sort-of floating block that doesn't make sense. It was near a mineshaft in the screenshot, but I don't think it was colliding with the structure. It is a rare instance though.
Cannot reproduce for now.
