I'm playing the console edition (Xbox 360). I know it's on or after TU69-Aquatic Update; I believe it is TU73, because I do have the trial version of the Nightmare Before Christmas Texture Pack. I am playing on Adventure Mode / Hard Difficulty (world created in Survival). My seed is -2878103199665976685, and I found a zombie spawner at X 296 - Y 57 - Z 78.
I placed half-slabs on the ground to limit the eligible spawn locations (I left open 3 in the 3 corners and 2 on the 2 far walls for mob spawning) and placed blocks above those spaces (with a 2-tall gap) to keep the spawned zombies stuck in place for carrot/potato/equipment farming. When I removed the torches, the zombies began spawning on the upside-down (lower-half) slabs. I dug up the half-slabs and replaced the layer of cobblestone beneath them with glass blocks. The mobs spawned on the glass. I crafted shears, got some leaves blocks from a nearby spruce tree and replaced the glass with leaves. The mobs spawned on the leaves. (I saved after the glass trial, but I did not save after the leaves trial, so the picture shows glass.)
I am not seeing anything in the change logs to suggest they are now supposed to be spawning on transparent blocks. Please re-open this Issue and investigate or create a new Issue and reply to this with the new issue number (so I know where to find it).
Thank you for your help, Tony
PS - I cannot confirm or deny if this is affecting any other versions or updates.
