Wall torches cannot be placed on the sides of lower slabs or stairs
Shown is a screenshot of torches placed onto the bottom halves of slabs and stairs using setblock. There is clearly enough space for the torch to be placed on the specified area of the block, however manually placing a torch on them through the inventory will not work.
Other blocks with a large enough area, such as stonecutters, sunlight sensors, end portal frames, enchantment tables and cauldrons also cannot have torches be placed upon their sides manually.
This may be considered working as intended, however given the changes to supported block placement on transparent blocks in recent snapshots I'd rather report this just to be sure.

Was working fine in pre5, but broke in this snapshot, preventing a lot of creative freedom. According to the comments of MC-129127, placing blocks this way probably shouldn't be considered a bug.
To reproduce fly away from all blocks and run the command /setblock ~ ~ ~ torch - the command fails whereas it previosuly never would have.
Even if this is considered intentional I'd strongly recommend reverting to the prior behaviour, as this current change severely hampers creative liberty for mapmakers and Creative mode builders, who may want to utilise "invalid" states for their own purposes (e.g. the aforementioned floating torches, which are still completely stable until a block is placed below them and then removed), as well as making it quite difficult to demonstrate several bugs regarding blocks not being able to be placed in certain positions such as MC-174479, MC-147248 and MC-147249.
