Redstone block Duplication Glitch

I accidentally found a way to duplicate redstone blocks.

Steps to reproduce

1. Place a redstone block two blocks away from the ground
2. Then place a piston on the ground right below
3. After before the piston can extend place any block above it resulting in a duplication of the redstone block.
4. Then update the block that has been pushed up which will then make the block disappear and be replaced by redstone.

I expected the piston to not even extend at all.
