Is this intended? I can walk straight through the stand, with or without armor on it.

You can walk right through a player with or without armor aswell..
I think that this is intended. (if they indeed want to keep it as an entity)
It is not interacting with comparitors either wich would also make sense if you wanted to see how many items are put on it for example (like the brewing stand) But as said before.. They are entities, so think of them as stupid players/mobs and not like anything like a brewing stand or whatever other block.
What surprices me when it comes to this however is that you cant push them like you can with a regular mob. (This might be a good thing thouh.. I dont know) They however gets pushed by water for example.
My personal feeling is that I that implementing this armor stand right now so close to 1.8 release was not that well thought through, since it kind of is a whole new consept. It can have so many odd implications. These things are not bugs per se, so there is probably not any point in fling bugreports like this, but just something that should be thought about I guess before implementing something like this.
Some of the implications, except for the one that you brought up about beeng able to walk through them, that probably cant be considered real "bugs" but rather results of the design coise, are for example:
You can put how many armor stands you want in the same spot, by just letting them fall down.
Armor stands react to preasure plates.
Armor stands dont block mobs
Command block commandss like "/clone" wont work for armor stands.
Command block commands like "/kill @e" will (probably) destroy them.
They wont be able to interact with redstone ecept for using things like preassure plates, tripwire and so on.
They wont be able to be placed with dispensers
They will create A LOT of lagg much like item frames (that havnt been fixed yet)
They will be fully covered in water when under water.
They will be able to live inside walls (since they dont suffocate)
They will burn like regular mobs, but wont die, since they dont take "normal dmg"
They will fall through a fence if they are placed on top of it, but will flote ½ block above a fence if placed one block above it.
They will stand inside things like cauldrons when placed above
They will get inside anvils if the anvil is dropped on them.
(Worth noting is that wether or not they are intended, good or bad is another question and I guess something that mojang should think about before hastely implementing it into 1.8 and by doing so, maybe painting themselfs in to a corner with this one.)
