Digging Snow Layer yields one snow ball too much
If you dig up snow covers with a shovel, you should get a snowball. The bug is that you get two snowballs instead of one. Works with all shovels.
Further information provided by Orthotope:
Looking at the code, it seems to be a simple oversight. Previously, the thickness of snow was stored in its data value, using the range 0-7, so the number of snowballs dropped was (thickness + 1). With the transition to block states, the thickness is now internally represented as 1-8, but the formula for snowballs dropped wasn't changed, so it gives one extra.

The bug
Unlike snow blocks, snow layers do not drop themselves when harvested with a silk touch shovel, instead dropping snowballs as usual (too many snowballs: see MC-61821).
How to reproduce
Obtain a shovel of any type enchanted with silk touch and break a snow layer of any height. Snowballs will be dropped instead of layers as expected.

Still an issue in 1.8.1 pre-release 3. Each snow layer gives one more snowball than expected.
Still in 1.8; looking at the code, it seems to be a simple oversight. Previously, the thickness of snow was stored in its data value, using the range 0-7, so the number of snowballs dropped was (thickness + 1).

Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.
This is an automated comment on any open or reopened issue with out-of-date affected versions.
Interestingly, this behavior means that snow layers can be obtained losslessly if all layers are one-high (6 layers -> 12 snowballs -> 3 blocks -> 6 layers), but snow is lost when stacked (stack of 6 -> 7 snowballs)
Confirmed for 1.12.
