Version: Computercraft 1.63, Minecraft 1.64. No mods other than Computercraft.
Bug: When placing blocks with a turtle, there's a bug with dispensers, droppers, and pistons. Their orientation is stuck so they don't point in the direction the turtle is facing, they only point upwards. From the blocks I've checked so far, these are the only blocks affected. This bug always occurs and is an issue for turtle.place(), turtle.placeUp(), and turtle.placeDown().
Expected result: When using turtle.place(), blocks which can be oriented in different directions are normally oriented to face away from the turtle, allowing turtles to build redstone circuits, stairs, buildings and such. For example, redstone repeaters, comparators, stairs, chests, and hoppers will all point away from the turtle when placed. However, this doesn't work for dispensers, droppers, or pistons. I expect that turtle.place() would point them in the dirrection the turtle is facing. Turtle.placeUp() should point them up, and turtle.placeDown() should point them down. Because their orientation is stuck, it's currently impossible to get turtles to build some redstone contraptions like dropper pipelines, defensive arrow dispensers and piston doors.
