When placing standard rails on an incline that travels DOWN from east to west, rails will attach to any adjacent rails, even if those adjacent rails are already connected to rails that are in line with them. This issue does not appear to affect inclines that move downward from west to east, north to south, or south to north.
Attached screenshots illustrate both the expected behavior (north-south, south-north, and west-east), as well as the behavior caused by the bug (east-west).
"What I expected to happen was..."
I expected to create a straight line of rails next to an existing straight line of rails.
"What actually happened was..."
The second straight line of rails started attaching itself to the first, existing line of rails.
"Steps to Reproduce."
Create an incline, two blocks wide, that moves downward from east to west
Place standard rails down the incline on either the northmost or southmost side of the incline
Place standard rails down the incline on the other side of the incline

I can reproduce in 1.18.2. Here are some more specific steps to reproduce:
Place three rails in an east-west direction such that the east rail is one block higher than the middle rail and the west rail is one block lower than the middle rail. All three rails should be connected.
Place a fourth rail to the north or south of the middle rail at a height of either one block below, one block above, or the same as the middle rail.
Expected result: the first three rails remain connected.
Actual result: the middle rail appears to connect to the fourth rail and the east rail.
This does not occur if the west rail is at the same height as the middle rail.
See the 12_30 attachments.
