I'm not an expert on how some of this stuff works, but there is some limitation on doors that only allow wooden doors the ability to be opened by NPC's. Since 1.8 was basically a complete re-write of MC, this problem was fixed. A coremod would be needed to fix this issue. If anyone knows more about this than I do, please let me know.

Thanks for explaining how Mevans can't do other types of doors because npcs can't open them, Minecraftmage113 and SamwiseFilmore. I didn't know about this and  I'll have to edit my suggestion.

See, if players can't use a greater variety of doors in their builds they have to use gates instead. Just like what happened to Ztrok. These new doors would be taking the place of gates in many builds. Therefore, since gates aren't openable by npcs it doesn't matter too much if certain doors exist which npcs can't open as well. These new types of doors wouldn't generate in randomly generated structures, but could only be created by players. If a player wanted npcs to be able to open the door he could still use a vanilla door. Because of these solutions, almost all problems with npcs having to be able to open the new doors would be solved.
