Still affecting 0.14.2 I've related as duplicates several other reports from past versions when we were under the impression that this worked as intended. As above, Mojang says it's a bug.
We've seen this reported several times Ola. You're right that it appears to be a bug, but several devs have stated online that it's a feature of the way terrain is generated and that they like these "quirks". I'm sure you can take it up with them 😛
