Having breached the second cavern level, I wanted to construct a stairway up to the stone layers above.  I can build fine in the empty space, but that last final top stair only builds downstairs, so there is no access to start mining the continued staircase above.  I had to mine a secondary tunnel way around from the outside to get to the spot above, then mine out the stairs in order to connect them, and then build walls to seal off the tunnel.  Is there not yet a way to just make an up/down stair at the top - or am I just missing the method?

Probably related to this: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169477.0

Note that digging upwards using ramps works fine, so a workaround from the top shouldn't be nescessary (at least I have had no issues with digging up ramps)

Sort of related, but this really comes down to no way a of building any sort of up stair if the level above is blocked in any way, or specifying what type of stair you want.
