The bug
You cannot give a squid on land a horizontal Motion either by summoning it or by changing its Motion with the /entitydata command, but you can give it a vertical Motion.
Due to MC-89883 the squid might appear to be moving horizontally client-side but is not server-side.
How to reproduce
/summon squid ~ ~ ~ {Motion:[2.0,1.5,0.0]}What this should do is summon a squid being hurled east. This works for other mobs that do not have any special movement patterns such as bat and ghasts which can fly, but not squids.
Furthermore, the squid is not rendering in the correct location. Although the squid does not move horizontally, the particle effect created from landing in 1.7 appears 2 blocks away along the direction it was meant to go.
Entity detecting blocks such as pressure plates and trip wires can also be triggered where these particles appear and not where the squid renders.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.4 / Launcher version 1.3.8 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.
This possible relates to or duplicates the issue that was about summoning items, where the item was visually elsewhere.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 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.
Can confirm.
Horizontal motion causes squids to behave erratically and fly back to their original position. When killed, drops are several blocks away. Vertical motion is not hindered.
