When making a trap pit with stakes, sometimes the spruce twigs are taken from the ground as I believe is intended, but other times I have to have the spruce twigs in my inventory in order to make the trap.  I have been unable to isolate any cause, it seems like one day the twigs can be on the ground then the next I have to have them in hand.

I think that spruce twigs are getting count towards the branches requirement in this version, so if you have less than 20 spruce twigs, it takes 10 of them for your branches and then you don't have enough to count as spruce twigs -- I've had this problem while making torches, that it eats up my spruce twigs instead of my branches.

I've been working around it by making sure the branches are higher in my inventory than the spruce twigs but it's annoying

By Jove, I think you've cracked it!  Just did a test and yes, if twigs are before branches in the items list then it selects twigs instead of branches, and requires you to hold more twigs in inventory to make the trap pit.  If branches are before twigs in the item list, then it works as designed.
