Missing smoke particles when placing ender eye into end portal frame

What I expected to happen was...:
Upon placing an eye of ender in a portal frame, the portal frame should emit smoke

What actually happened was...:
In the latest version since the multiplayer restructuring (1.3-present), inserting an eye into a portal frame does not make it smoke.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run current version of MC, create an end portal. Note how frame does not smoke when eyes are inserted.
2. Revert to 1.2.5 using MCNostalgia or MultiMC
3. create an end portal in single player. Note how frame does emit smoke when eyes are inserted.
Trivial error, but that's what the community is for, isn't it?
