0006591: Trees are always chopped completely, regardless of where chopping designation is given
No matter where you designate a tree to be chopped (the base, the top) the entire tree comes toppling down.
1) Start a fort
2) Build a staircase up the side of a tree
3) Chop down any part of the tree other than the base
This might be intentional, but I am not sure.

(Quote from patch notes)

Multi-tile trees and lots of new plants. Fruit and flowers. Leaves that fall in little clouds. I had to put off dwarf mode tree harvesting, but we should get to that before long.

That's not related to this. He meant harvesting fruit, not cutting a tree in sections.

Harvesting trees can be seen as harvesting the wood of the tree.
Arent euphemisms fun?
