/fill can't do nether portals

What I expected to happen was...:
When using /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> portal or /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> portal 0 or /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> portal 1, the nether portal blocks would be placed.

What actually happened was...:
In all cases, instead of the portal block being placed, a block of air was placed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a 3x3x3 area of air(works with any area as well)
2. Place any solid block below it.
3. Place any solid blocks around it.
4. Use the/fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> portal or /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> portal 0 or /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> portal 1 (specify the area of air that you made)

Though this block must be obtained with an inventory editor, it is not possible to place two nether portal blocks next to each other in the vanilla game simply because the block updates, then realizes it's not in a frame, and so, disappears.
