@ [Mod] Jar_: done 😉 (also added a video with proof)
(still) present in 1.7.9 / 14w11b

Why have our comments been removed and has the status been set to resolved, while the issue hasn't been fixed in the original bug report? (i tested it a few minutes ago after [Mod] Jar_ posted his comment).
When the coordinate is set, it is within a block- namely the pressure plate or tripwire string. This is probably why the spawnpoint command fails. If the player's hitbox brushes the edge of the pressure plate or string, there's a higher chance setting spawnpoint will work.
I would like to see this fixed =/ (still present in 1.7.4)
@ Jeremy: I wholeheartedly agree with you
Thanks for patching this 🙂
Also in 13w49a / 1.7.3 Pre-release
Updated: 13w49a client/server are also affected
/setworldspawn isn't ment/intended to do that.
To achieve the thing you want, you should use the /tp command (and optionally /spawnpoint playername x y z) in conjunction with commandblocks and /scoreboard 's score features.
You can then further customize its behaviour (i.e. make a firsttime spawn location or add different spawn locations for different teams)
Also watch the below tutorials from Dragnoz. These have helped me when i was facing the same problem:

Sorry: yes.
edit: This applies for Mojang's own server jar and Minecraft's built-in (LAN) server
Also in 13w48b ...
I didn't confirm anything, i simply hope it gets fixed before 1.8.x
1.7.2 is also affected
I actually believe this applies to any gamemode and all blocks,
its just easier to notice with blocks that can easely be destroyed
See both attachments where i hit someone behind a wall/glass, in a grief-protected spawn/area, while having creative mode:

Actually hope this gets fixed < 1.8.x (1.7.3 or so) =/
Screenshot links won't open either for me.
Also present in the 14w17a snapshot
