Surrounding jungle leaves with monster spawners or other transparent leaf blocks causes the jungle leaves to become invisible; therefore, this causes an x-ray effect to blocks adjacent to the jungle leaves. This bug can be reproduced in fancy graphics using both monster spawners and any other transparent leaf block to completely surround jungle leaves, or in fast graphics using only monster spawners to completely surround jungle leaves.

The Reason Jungle Leaves are Opaque is because of frame rate on lower end devices. This isn't going to be fixed soon...
Hi Alex, I think you misunderstand this bug or have it confused for another bug. The leaves being opaque (meaning you cannot see through them) is not at issue. Rather, the problem is the leaves allowing you to see caves, dungeons, lava, and other features through the ground. I think this happens because the texture of Jungle leaves fails to render correctly when viewed through other types of leaves. When graphics are on "not fancy" mode no leaves are transparent, (I.e. All leaves are opaque) so this issue does not occur.
I will try to post a better image of this "x-ray vision" effect that shows the underground features. The images up so far make this hard to see, but please try reproducing it yourself. It is easy to do in creative mode.
Can confirm for 0.10.4 on iPhone 6 plus (iOS 8.1.3). Explanation: monster spawners or transparent leaf blocks placed on jungle leaves causes the jungle leaves not to render, allowing the player to see through any connected opaque blocks. This works both with and without fancy graphics, though leaves cannot be used on normal graphics.
Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S4 android 4.4.2 in creative and survival modes running fancy graphics.
In survival simply find a Jungle biome with Jungle leaves adjacent to non Jungle leaves and fill the space beneath them and the ground with solid blocks then look at the Jungle leaves through the non Jungle leaves.
You will see through the ground to see underground features (aka xray vision). I expected to see the surface of the block beneath the Jungle leaves.
