UPDATE by @unknown: Still affects cauldrons as of 0.17.0.2. (Also occurs with potions and water bottles.) Fixed for just placing water/lava in the world, though.
Whenever you place water or lava in creative, the water/lava bucket you use is not consumed (as expected) but an empty bucket is returned and eventually fills up your inventory.
Steps to reproduce:
Discard any empty buckets you already have.
Put water somewhere.
Now you have 1 water bucket and 1 empty bucket.
Put another water somewhere.
Now you have 1 water bucket and 2 empty buckets.
What I expected:
No empty buckets are returned in creative.

It used to be that putting bedrock on top of a cauldron and filling it twice with powder snow breaks the bedrock. Now doing that over and over again gives you buckets.

@unknown, that's because water/lava buckets are non-stackable unlike empty ones. See http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Water#Water_Bucket

Confirmed for 0.15.1 alpha build 1. Also, in creative mode, filling cauldron with potion and water bucket or drinking potion, will give you an empty bottle and empty bucket.

What's really strange is in creative you don't get 64 of the water buckets like you do with other items and every time you empty out a bucket; it gives you an additional empty bucket each time.
