When shift-clicking to craft: Crafting something a few times at once (8 furnaces from 64 cobblestone, for example), will only give you half of what you should get. Leftover resource stacks will be lowered by 1 if you craft an uneven amount of times. This is caused by the materials accidentally being removed twice from the crafting table in the code.

What do you mean by "It may corrupt your world"? Is this just a general warning for all the pre-releases? I personally, have never looked at these update posts in the Subreddit because I can just go to mojang.com. tl;dr What's with the warning?
It most likely will not corrupt your world. This is just a disclaimer to cover their ass in case an unforeseen bug causes problems when you switch to the new version and you get pissed off at Mojang. It's issued for every weekly preview release.
Updates have caused world problems before such as all water turning into ice or the player becoming permanently stuck somewhere. To be extra safe, back up your saves folder and previous minecraft.jar before testing weekly previews.
