Pistons can push blocks through the worldborder. Note: Sticky pistons can't pull back through.
I am 99% sure this's not intended because there's no way to edit blocks outside of the worldborder. You can't /setblock it, place it, or really do anything outside of the worldborder except pistons and the sticky ones can't pull it back.
