[new rails] Chain signal splits rails into blocks on other side of rail to where it is placed

[drmason13]

This chain signal splits the rails into blocks on the other side of the rail than I expected. (the magenta block to the right between yellow and cyan blocks.)

Which leads to this surprising situation where a train on one side of the chain signal blocks the track on the other side of the chain signal:

However, if you replace the curved rail that crosses the curved rail it is on with straight rails, it instead flashes to show it is invalid.

I expect the chain signal to flash to show it is invalid in both situations, or for the former chain signal to actually split the blocks where it is placed and allow two trains to pass at once on opposite tracks.

Here is the 1st (buggy, should probably flash as invalid) blueprint string:
