light gets inside the fully enclosed area behind the stairs. It gets in from the top edge of the stairs that connect to the bottom edge of the dirt block.
The inside, which has 0 torches. The light comes in from the top edge of the stairs. If you replace the stairs with a dirt block, the inside is pitch black (as it should be).

Happens to me too. It happens when you place 2 blocks which only touch on the edge and not connected by a solid side. The light passes through the connecting edge, diagonally from 1 empty area to another.
