Placed torch on wall as is the usual operation, then was able to place floating torches by placing them on the sides and front of the wall torch. Floating torches broke if any block updated around it.
edit: duplicated in creative only when a block was next to space where floating torch appeared

In the same way, we can place torches on the transparent blocks and "non complete" blocks, i.e. : ice, glowstone, sea lantern, all the rails, pistons, levers, repeaters, comparators, plates, tripwires, trapdoors, buttons, glass panes, iron barriers, cactus, saplings, ladder, cobweb, chests, beacon, redstone, etc.
Confirmed for 14w29a as MC-62136 describes this bug in 14w29a
None of the torches showed on the images I uploaded is touching the wall.
Also, when you place a bed under a "glitchy" torch, a half of it brakes.

This issue is not fixed in 14w26b.
Steps to reproduce:
Place two blocks over each other
Place a torch on the floor in front of the little wall
Place a second torch by clicking on top of the first torch
