As pumpkins and melons are vanilla plants, they probably can't deal with the Mod blocks.

Yes, I was saying that it was the actual melon block that is the issue. The problem is that Melon Blocks are designed to only grow on either farmland (and destroy it), dirt, or grass, and the melon does not recognize jungle mud as dirt. Possibly it would work to add Jungle mud and grass as blocks that melon would consider okay to grow on, though.
