Using a cobblestone generator as shown in the picture attached, will cause the popped off cobble that jumps into the water (right) to sometimes glitch through or "jump" into and through to the top of the gold block rather than to the top of the cobble block. This may be due to the cobble block mistakenly shoving it into the gold block, thinking it was transparent.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
No answer on querry, assuming not an issue anymore.
