Comparators don't give output of blocked chest

The bug

In 1.9.2, they added the feature of hoppers being able to pull items out of blocked chests. However, comparators don't give output when they are blocked & have items in them.

Video proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNRTYOqBneU

How to reproduce

  1. Get two chests, fill them with items
  2. Put a solid block on top of one of them
  3. Put comparators facing away from them
  4. One will give signal, while the other won't

While some older reports of this got "resolved" by marking it as intended, isn't a bit weird that now items can go through chests with blocks on top, you still can't get a signal out of them?
