Floating torches generate in Strongholds

I once found a stronghold in a 1.8 snapshot, and it had a lot of floating torches. Though I don't know if this bug is fixed, so I still report it.

What I expected to happen was...:
Torches would generate sticked to walls in Strongholds

What actually happened was...:
Torches generate next to walls in Strongholds, but are floating

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a Stronghold (you can do that with Eyes of Ender)
2. Enjoy the floating torches
