[1.46] Redstone problem(s)

apologies if the title is unspecific.

1. Crafty and Wireless turtles with a tool equipped seem to be unable to output redstone signal to the right.(rs.setOutput('right',true) in lua and 'redset right true' / 'redpulse right' in shell do not work)

-To reproduce place any non-plain crafty/mining turtle and some redstone(on their right side) and enter any of the above.

2. With all turtles, setting the output of either top or bottom and then breaking or moving the turtle causes the redstone signal to 'linger' - as in stay powered when the turtle is not there to power it (anymore).

This persists on reloading the world(ssp), but cancels when there is a block update anywhere along the line of redstone that the turtle 'was' powering, or when a turtle is placed adjacent to the block that was 'set' initially.

-To reproduce, place a block above a turtle, place some redstone on the block. Enter 'redset top true' in the shell, then break the turtle.

ssp and smp, using CC1.46 for 1.4.2, forge version 6.0.1.350.

Is it intentional? If so, it is bad.

I think so too.
I wondered if this was the case. But posted anyway due to the more serious nature of the second one.
Although I can see the logic behind it, it seems like an unnecessary 'nerf'. - although fairly easy to work around.
There should however be something on this in the redstone / peripheral sections of the wiki if indeed it is intentional.

The second one on the other hand is crippling if you are into using turtles with redstone at all, although it does allow for some interesting mechanics.

I have not tested this with earlier versions.

thanks.
