The bug
If you're gliding in 1st person mode with elytra, and change to 3rd person, it will then update the elytra appearance to gliding. Then, if you land in 1st person and then switch to 3rd person, it will also then update the elytra appearance to still.
How to reproduce
Stand on a block
Go to 3rd person view, then back to 1st person
Start gliding
Go to 3rd person view
(If you glide, do step 2, land, and then do step 4, it will present the same issue)
Whenever I do this, doing step 4 causes the wings to spread apart (or draw back together). This means that the elytra are only updating when you are looking at yourself, even though they should already be in the correct position when you switch to 3rd person view (the very tick you switch to switch to 3rd person it should be in the correct position ).
NOTE: This bug could be invalid due to how entity rendering and updates work (in 1st person the player is not being rendered yet)

One more day until it's a hundred days old without Mojang acknowledgement, which tells you that many bugs are being reported and the Minecraft team is cooking up some great ideas at the office, while I am making grammatically accurate sentences that many would deem to be too long.
Yeah, I hate it when I craft a perfectly correct sentence, but people call it a run-on because it's a paragraph long. Very annoying.
I've encountered this problem in the first pre-release for 1.10.
