If you throw an item against the stanchion of the piston, the item will fly backwards. It's possible to do this with a channel filled with water and ice too.
Fly backwards range: 2-3 blocks.
Normaly items would only stopped directly in the front of the piston.

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w05b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
