/setblock ladder creates transparent block instead

When using the /setblock command to create ladders, it instead creates a solid transparent block.

What I expected to happen was...:
A ladder to appear on the wall.

What actually happened was...:
The ladder appeared as a solid, invisible block. Tested with both command block and chat box, as well as relative and precise coordinates, with the same result. Placing any block next to the ladder, via command or by hand, will destroy the invisible ladder block and drop the ladder item.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the /setblock command to set a ladder
2. Observe

Perhaps the orientation of the ladder needs to be specified somehow, so it knows which side to render on?

It is not a bug, you should specify ladder's data value to make it work (data value set to 2,3,4,5), see http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Data_values#Ladders.2C_Wall_Signs.2C_Furnaces.2C_and_Chests

It would see that is correct. The command works fine with values 2 - 5.

Still affects All versions, 14w30a and 1430b Confirmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladders now appear to default to facing north, meaning the ladder is placed on the south side of the block.

/setblock ~ ~ ~ ladder

will now place a visible ladder.

/setblock ~ ~ ~ ladder 3

works for a ladder facing south, 4 for west, 5 for east.
