I want a light source that emits light even though it's completely surrounded by blocks. So you can light houses without letting glowstone or torches being visible. Found in the end possibly?
So you want a light source that ignores other blocks so that it may continue the light?
Maybe we can get it from Ghasts. A Ghost Skin drop. But that on a jack-o-lantern and you get a Ghast-o-lantern. A ghostly version that can light through blocks.
The enchanting table that lets light through Is problably a bug. He wants to be able to hide the light source with blocks, you can see through pistons (a little at least) and to use enchantment tables would be ugly and expensive.
A retracted piston can't be seen through at all.
Light through enchanting tables is not a bug.

How could It not be a bug? They are both ugly as building material anyway.
It isn't a bug, but a known problem with how Minecraft handles full transparency in blocks (such as those that do not occupy a full block/having advanced models not displacing items that can be picked up, and the whole water situation).

It’s the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out.
I’d rather be in, in a good system. That’s where my discontent comes from:
being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin’ straight ahead.
Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

How does that sound?
It just doesn't make sense.
I'm pretty sure staircases block light. I think they didn't used to, but they do now.
