Note: I'm not sure if this is actually a bug as the change log didn't specify one way or the other.
Description: The title says it all
Steps to recrate:
1). Create a flat world
2). Attempt through any means to place a block outside the old build bounds but inside the new ones
Expected results: block places as it would in an infinite world
Observed results: block fails to place as it would before the bounds expansion
