I tried to place IndustrialCraft 2 copper wire with turtle.place(), but when I call that function with a slot containing copper wire selected, it simply returns false.
Is this a bug? Is it fixable, and if so, is it on the road map?

Its not a block, currently turtles can only place blocks.

Ah, I see.. what's the difference between a block and whatever copper wire is? Is there a technical reason placing one is more difficult than placing the other?

yes there is and it's related to the way minecraft code is written. It is quite simple to place full blocks though.

There are "blocks" and "items" in minecraft code. And they arnt always as "clear-cut" as what it sounds like. Sapling/Torch = block (O.o)

I believe they can, because for whichever reason, as casper said, saplings and torches are blocks…
So are turtles…

They might not look like blocks, but they might've expanded on the Java Block class (haven't checked yet), so that would make them
technically blocks, i.e. they share common code. :(/>/>

Please don't advertise yourself :(/>/>.
The block/item thing is confusing. Copper cables actually look really ugly if picked up so Alblaka gave them there own Item ID with a nice friendly texture. When you right click with this item it ddoes some fancy stuff and tells MC to place a copper cable. Turtles don't/can't execute this code so you can't place copper cable (it may be fixed but I think you can pick up "actual" copper cables with the wrench- try those).

I'm sorry, but I still don't get how this relates to my earlier post.
I mean, you said "haha
like my signature", but I just can't see any similarity to what I said that would explain what in your signature is
like my explanation about the blocks?
*very-confused*
