Summary:

blocks do not update visually in tickingareas when player isn't around

Impact:

blocks not updating even in tickingareas is very bad and will cause player confusion across the board as we use tickingareas to keep persistent areas.

Repro Steps:

1. Open the test world "block update test" which is attached
2. Press the button to make obsidian block obsidian
3. press the button to teleport away
4. press the button to turn obsidian into redstone block
5. teleport back

Observed Results:

The obsidian block will not update and the button will remain pressed even though they actually did as shown by leaving the world and rejoining

Expected Results:

the block should update correctly and the button should depress normally
