I found a bug when placing partially overlapping blueprints containing reinforced or classic nixie tubes (it doesn't occur with small ones). If you configure a nixie tube with a signal and copy it, you can't paste it on top of itself or on top of other identically-configured nixie tubes (trying shows the message "reinforced nixie tube is in the way). A workaround is to use force-building, but it seems like that shouldn't be necessary.
