Blockplacer will place ghost version of frames when powered by timer

Version of mod: 4.9.1.92
Part of modpack: FTB Ultimate Reloaded v1.6.0

The issue involves blockplacers (projectred), timers (projectred), and blocks that when placed are a forge multipart. When a blockplacer is powered by a projectred timer to place a Forge multipart block such as a cover, a project red frame or a gate. It will use one item and place a "ghost" block which appears to just be part of the mesh and not actually added to the chunk. Reloading the map, placing a block in the ghost block or just waiting will cause the block to disapear. Once there is a "ghost" block the second activation of the blockplacer will place an actual block. This behaviour is not seen if a vanilla repeater is placed between the blockplacer and the timer. I encountered this issue whilst playing on my laptop with a core i5-8250u processor and integrated graphics with 8gb of ram which becomes quite toasty. It is possible that the issue does not happen on a slightly more powerful computer but I have not tested that scenario.

In the following link you should find a savegame of the setup and picturers of the setup that causes the bug

Its extremely strange as to why the repeater works but the timer does not. Could be related to the way the timer causes block updates. Can you re-provide your setup? The link seems to be broken.

Am able to reproduce strange placement of multipart items when ticked with Timer gates. Seems to be mitigated by placing a Repeater before the Block Placer. Will investigate further.

1613b90 will at least stop the block placer from placing a Multipart version of the frame block when not needed.
