Dispenser does not look for redstone power when placed

When I place a dispenser on a redstone torch, it does not dispense anything. I have tried with a dispenser with a bucket with water in it (cmd+pick-block-button on mac), but it does not dispense anything untill it gets a block update.

This is because the dispenser can't pick up the block update caused by the placing of itself.
Also, this is a "intended bug", Mojang knows this bug exists for every redstone device and has said to not fix it, because basically all BUD's rely on this bug.

Okay, I was not really sure if this was an intended bug or not...

So many problems would be fixed if they just made a BUD block.
It would also help if they didn't make minecraft in java.
