Cut copper slabs and its variants can't be placed properly

I was building something and I placed a cut copper slab and it was placed down, not up. So, I tested it and the copper slabs went down, up, down, up, and so on. The copper slabs always started down, even if I aimed at the upper part of a block.

How to reproduce

1. Get any variant of a cut copper slab (waxed, oxidized, weathered, exposed).
2. Place it on the upper part of a block then place it again and again.

Observed results

The cut copper slabs are placed like this: first down, then up and it repeats.

Expected results

The cut copper slabs should have been placed in a straight line.
