I am encountering a similar issue with stairs. There is a village nearby, but not close enough for the stairs to be considered "in" the village. To produce the images, I placed the stairs, saved and exited the world, then reloaded the world. The stairs were all changed to air blocks with a lighting glitch. This seems to occur at any height as well.
