I think maybe TNT minecarts are meant to detonate if they hit blocks, but these are wrongly intersecting with blocks when they shouldn't be. I wonder what happens if you replace the block with a column of lava? That should detonate it but not normal blocks.
Lava column also detonates. (with damaging cart motion) but water column does not detonates the cart.
So pretty much the hitbox of the TNT cart intersects the wool block at a corner (not a surprise there, as they turn diagonally). Either the cart hitbox could be made smaller, or stronger checking for a detonation trigger could be implemented.

Not only the blocks inside of the corner trigger the explosion, also blocks outside. See MC-12191
Easy fix: Move the corner.
It is still in the latest prerelease 3 .. Here is a video: http://youtu.be/DvdeNR15hv8
