Ok with extensive research i'm going to post all the bugs here that I've found and a possible work around.
Extreme lag - I'm pretty sure it's cause by fires, usually the server host will see some type of random desync message, this is the one that says maybe you changed the date and time, just reboot your server this should solve the problem.
Can't pick stuff up after a while - Swapping to a free hand fixes this, also rejoining the server it's a bug that happens, unknown cause maybe linked with deaths by certain items.
Monsters - Aren't in yet.
Day/Night - Isn't in yet.
TNT - Seams to cause a lot of lag probably from all the shrapnel on the ground the server has a hard time picking up and detecting heaps of objects on the ground.
Also if you put 5000 TNT packed into a house it crashes the client for those that set it off but fine for everyone else.
Tracks - These are bugged and there's no work around get, most likely needs a server/client update.
Apparently
"Minecart track problems such as it not sloping when placed was fixed when I destroyed it, it replaced itself automatically as sloped. I also got turning tracks to work, don't remember how exactly but I think it was destroying the tracks next to the one that needed to turn."
"If you set up a minetrack then leave the server and rejoin they will be connected up propperlly. I think its just the visual part that is right. If you place a minecart on a track that hasn't set up right and all the tracks are facing in the wrong direction the cart will still move along it but it will sort of teleport between its track."
Minecarts - If you step on them or ride them they can become glitchy and teleport, even kill you, they do move when pushed.
Doors - Metal doors don't work, wooden doors sort of do some type of client/server bug, some people can pass through but some people can't.
Terrain - Reappearing this is from the start zone, you have to move AWAY from the start zone, about 20 block outwards this is prevention from griefing.
Suddenly stopping also, this is just the generator.
Stairs - Cobblestone stairs are buggy same with wooden, it appears the end of the stairs is bugged.
Furnaces - Work but:
"Furnaces can work, if used strategically. The admin has to give himself an 'on' furnace, which then smelts properly. However, once the fuel runs out it turns back into a broken furnace and destroys your items if you don't take them out before that happens."
Boats - Are still buggy.
Inventory - Doesn't save, it's all client side.
Buckets - They can pick up lava and place lava fine, but if you pick up water and try and place it, it disappears. But combined with water they stay.
Paintings - Bugged. If you place one (after the admin gives you one) they disappear a while after.
Signs - You can place a sign, but if you reconnect to the server the sign's text will be blank, also people cannot see your signs.
Torches - You seem to be able to duplicate torches. All you have to do is get a couple or torches, head to water, and spam rightclick while looking in the water can cause weird currents)
Ladders - When placed on the inside of a start zone you can't replace them, if you goto the 'edge' of the block that reappears, and put a ladder in so it faces towards the reappear it'll treat it like a reappearing block.
Switches - "Simple red dust wiring works, but then you have to PLACE torches to get it to work."
buttons wont work at the wires.
Dropping and picking up - An item with durability replenishes it to full durability.
Tools - When you left click on another player with a tool, the tool's durability drains as if being used.
Fire - Replenish after being hit to be put out some times.
Lighting - Is a bit buggy and glitches and is slow to load.
Join Error - If you join a multiplayer game, and start a singleplayer game after without closing minecraft between gamemodes, using Q in singleplayer mode doesn't drop the block / item you were trying to get rid off, but it does disappear from your inventory.
Also you fall through the ground when you enter the server that's being made.
Red Stone - Redstone dust does indeed work. But you have to power it with torches. Pressure plates, buttons, and switches do not power the dust.
You can use levers to toggle a torch which can then power the redstone dust.
Psyics - Are glitched, gravel doesnt fall down, but teleports down.
Server Issues - Joining your own server can crash and turn your screen black, it happened when I had high load of TNT and detonated.
Sun - Doesn't move.
Wheat - Seems to have growing issues, its growing fine, but the game is not updating the actual block with the diffrent stages of growth, however when I alter the land near the wheat all the blocks update to whatever stage they are at.
Stone - Flamable in some instences i have had stone burn down.
Chests - With items seem to have a chance of losing the items. Friend and I had 2 chests of items and they randomly emptied out. Might have had to do with me going exploring, de-popping the chest on my(host) computer due to the distance and re-popping and empty chest when I came back into view.
I think that's ALL the bugs, it's enough for notch to fix, i'll give him an email with this list.
Minecart track problems such as it not sloping when placed was fixed when I destroyed it, it replaced itself automatically as sloped. I also got turning tracks to work, don't remember how exactly but I think it was destroying the tracks next to the one that needed to turn.
The main problem isn't the tracks, but the carts themselves. They don't move, and when they do it's very buggy, and sometimes if you try and pick it up it spazzes and becomes immovable. Sometimes standing or even sitting in them can cause buggy effects such as being pulled back in when you leave the cart.
Furnaces can work, if used strategically. The admin has to give himself an 'on' furnace, which then smelts properly. However, once the fuel runs out it turns back into a broken furnace and destroys your items if you don't take them out before that happens.
Paintings are also bugged. If you place one (after the admin gives you one) they disappear a while after.
Buckets as well, they can pick up lava and place lava fine, but if you pick up water and try and place it, it disappears.
When on a server, natural lava deposits replenished themselves, giving infinite lava.
when several lava springs are mixed with water, they steam constantly, and when water is taken away, turn back to lava. However, if a loop can be set up properly (I made mine at random) you can get lava to regen itself. You can in theory make one anywhere with water.
I have a bad video, but I have low upload speed. I may update with it.
Seem to get a rather common hangup problem with SMP as well, where the character will freeze. You can move, but it just jerks you back to position. Unsire if someone under this effect can break bricks, but I was able to plant saplings, so it's not a communication/lag issue, I don't think. Might be an issue with the anti noclip detecting a potential issue and trying to compensate, as going backwards sometimes helps. Three confirmed occurances on our server so far.

Provide feedback so I can add it to the list.
Unfortunately not, the arrow gets about 50% through and stops. This happened on multiple occasion for me at least.

A bug being something going horrendously wrong, but if it's not supposed to work, it's not supposed to work.

A simple suggestion on geology here.
