The bug
If a barrel is being accessed and is pushed by a piston, the player is kicked out of the interface. However, the barrel still keeps its "open" texture, and will remain that way until opened and closed manually again.
How to reproduce
1. Create this setup
[media]2. Fly above the pressure plate in creative mode
3. Stop flying, then quickly open the barrel so you land on the pressure plate while accessing it
4. Result:

I don't know the facts in this case, but I imagine it's because
It's a minor flaw that doesn't interfere with gameplay at all. It leaves the game in an unusual state, but not an abnormal one (the barrel is just like one that's being accessed by another player).
Fixing the problem would involve changing how blocks being moved by a piston are implemented. This is already complicated because most blocks can be moved and some of them have special logic. Adding more special logic for the barrel would carry a risk of breaking how other blocks work, so a lot of testing would be needed. It's just too much effort for such a minor flaw.
Thank you for your report!
