Target blocks do not get activated by adjacent dispenser projectiles

Setup: Put a target block and a dispenser next to the target block, with its opening towards the target block. Put projectiles like snowballs or arrows into the dispenser and activate the dispenser.

Expected Result:
The target block detects the projectile and gives out a redstone signal.

Observed Result:
The projectile hits the target block and no redstone pulse is given.
