So a player in my multi-player server tried to pickup a vacuum hopper (from Open Blocks) with the portal gun. The result was catastrophic causing all clients in the area to crash (although the server itself kept running and clients in other areas were fine unless they walked over to that area). I had to restore a backup from a few hours ago to get that section of the world to stop crashing the clients.
I don't really expect you to fix this issues as it seems very specific to that mod, but I do think more issues like this are going to crop up, as other mod developers do weird things with their tile entities.
I was thinking that a decent solution to this would be to add whitelists and blacklists to the config file that control which blocks the portal gun can pickup. By doing this, mod pack organizers can protect players from attempting to pickup blocks that would cause this kind of issue.
