I think this is unfortunately a fix for a long-time glitch of using a pickaxe to mine something quickly and switching to a dirt block last second to avoid the cost.
Nathan, Jason's fix seems to be working for me and plenty others. Please work with him so we can get this resolved asap. While it is indeed better than an actual crash, it is rather quite noticeable and I see no reason to ignore a working fix that has been put on the table.
