It's already in known issues: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=29750
It certainly took the OP a lot of trial-and-error to get that amazing gif. Fixing it would only mean additional code and I don't see a reason to prohibit trains doing that as it would require precise timing to pull that off and I doubt that this behavior is useful for practical applications.

Maybe in 0.14 we'll change them but not for now.

I've actually run into this in real games (https://imgur.com/MJzVb8p). Possibly a bug with signals for allowing that in the first place, though.
