Spawn eggs can’t be used against flowing liquids

The bug

You are unable to spawn a mob using a spawn egg against a flowing liquid, but against sources you can.

How to reproduce

  1. Place water and make sure that it flows
  2. Aim against a flowing water block and make sure that you don’t aim a block through the water
  3. Right click

What actually happened: No mob got spawned. But if you aim against a source block it works.
What I expected to happen: You can also spawn the mob by aiming at flowing liquids not just source blocks.
