Since 1.2 bad crafting for slabs has been fixed. But not for stairs. Normally, you should get 6 stairs from 6 material blocks, not 4. No more than 6 because a stair can occupy 7/8 of one block space if it was placed near another stair. Crafting 4 stairs from 6 whole blocks means that 2 WHOLE blocks got destroyed!! Fix this trouble, please!

I really hate to say that this most likely is going to be considered as a feature request. Also, from 6 block you should get 8 stairs (because a stair can occupy 3/4 of one block space).
Please Mojang consider changing the stairs' recipe. Indeed a lot of blocks are wasted when crafting stairs.
