I am having this issue as well with the beacon in out server in my house, but a different beacon with the same effects (regen 1 speed 1) at a different location on the same server is not having this issue. This is not fixed by leaving the area and re-loading it , buff still runs out for approximatly 3 seconds then refreshes.

I've just started having this problem with my sheep and cows. They are in a fully enclosed fence that is 1 block high and I have been having huge problems. I even saw my red sheep just walk right through the fence! I then replaced the sheep's fence with a two block high wall of cobblestone blocks, and it seems to be fine now, but I need to do more observations. I didn't have enough resources to do the same with my cows, so I just added a layer of dirt over the fence and seems to have worked as well. I just started the world I'm playing in a few days ago, and I'm now having these problems, which I've never had before. My house and both farms are on the same chunk too. Oh, and just sleeping at night seems to get my sheep/cows to escape. I have been containing the cows fairly well; when one escapes I kill it for beef/leather, then breed more, but I can't really do that with my sheep as easily because each one is a different color and they are more useful alive. I even noticed some sheep just flat out gone (probably just ran off after escaping) because my catalog where I keep track of my sheep shows some that aren't there (I keep VERY good track of my catalog being these sheep I made with dyes, and I don't want to lose or duplicate any. I hope this can be fixed, because the my sheep look like they're in prison, and fences are much easier to make than cobblestone is to obtain. I am also on Windows 8 with Minecraft version 1.5.3. Not quite sure what java version it is...
