Chest with contents disappears on dig

[LionsPhil]

Version: Minetest-c55 0.4dev-20120320

To reproduce:
Place a chest.
Place an item in the chest (a handful of leaves will do).
Dig the chest with your hand.

Expected results:
Either the chest is dug and moves to the player's inventory (with its own inventory transferred or preserved in some manner), or the action fails entirely, ideally with feedback.

Actual results:
"dig prevented by metadata" appears in the console.
The chest is apparently removed from the world regardless.
The chest does not appear in the player's inventory.
If you wait a while, the chest will reappear.

This was fixed a good while ago.
