The bug
Using sticky pistons, minecart rails can be ''elevated'' or put into the up-going position. It works on any type of rail, as long as the middle one is a regular one. For example, imagine a view from above; powered rail - rail - detector rail.
Both the powered and the detector rail will be lifted whilst destroying the default one. It won't however work if all 3 rails are the same, except if all 3 are default rails.

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w30c? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Update: Issue is still active in version 14w30c. All rail types behave in the same way as previously described.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
