I'm currently doing a few tests with bitcoin core 0.13.2 and I've noticed that decoderawtransaction has a strange behavior when used on some segwit txs (e.g: a24cec50d5cf861d1af4b634f8ed1968c0e9484724bfef5af7f8c383605978c8)
Everything seems ok if I call getrawtransaction in verbose mode for this txid

Now, here is what I get if I call decoderawtransaction with the hex of this tx

}
From my observations, everything seems ok for txs with P2WPKH or P2WSH nested in P2SH.
Do I miss something ? Is it a known issue (or temporary limitation or decoderawtransaction) ?
Thanks in advance !
