If you make a new world and get eyes of ender out of your inventory as soon as you spawn in and throw them they glitch badly. I've done this a few times, it seems consistent.

The eyes of ender still work, but they appear to lag backwards as you throw them for a s short time.
I cannot reproduce this issue. I took < 2 minutes to find a stronghold in creative in 1.9-pre3. Saw no real glitchyness either.
