Marked as fixed in Snapshot 10, this bug has been once again partially fixed in this snapshot.
The block is still missing a detail from the GUI texture (the GUI texture is the most accurate out of all hanging signs UI textures.)
The GUI texture has a bright color (HEXA #B2A998) that is used as an highlight, though this color is not present on the front and the back of the panel (where the text is placed) on the block texture.
