If you summon a FallingSand entity on a block with the same Block ID, it will take it and fall displaying it.
Oh okay I see. The bug seems to occur only when you summon falling sand but not anymore when you place a sand block. 🙂
Yeah, I think that's pretty much always been the case; it's the bug report means when it says "summon"
Discovered something about this, if you summon a FallingSand with time not equal to 0 on a block of the proper type, the client will delete the block, but the server will not. Also the client will be able to see the FallingSand created this way.
I have this too. Unfortunately, it has not been fixed and is brought back in Minecraft 15w34d 1.9 snapshot. It works for a little while after I load up the world, but then it stops showing.

Confirmed for normal sand.
