I just checked release 1.8.9, torches were able to be placed on the sides of redstone blocks back then and were probably always able to be as I seem to remember a lot of people using that behavior to start redstone contraptions that required a short pulse.
The ability to place torches on the sides of redstone blocks is very likely an intended feature. I can't necessarily say the same about observers although this behavior did appear in the 1.11 releases, but if anything, it's stranger that buttons and levers can't be attached to the sides and undersides of redstone blocks, observers and pistons than it is that torches can be placed on the sides of the first two.
would be amazing if the devteam could decide if this is a bug or not ...
mojang.net says: fixed bug:can place torches on observers/rsblocks...
reddit says: cant place torches on observers and rs blocks....
in the snapshot it still works and it should always work
