When destroying a shulker box with a piston, the item gets created inside the piston arm instead of in front of the piston.
Setup to easily reproduce is in attached screenshot.

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.12.2, or the latest 1.13 development snapshot 18w07c) of Minecraft?

Yes.

Isnt this a duplicate/extension of MC-11293?

It might be. At least related.

@unknown Did you reproduce this recently with the setup from the screenshot? I just found this bug report again while working on a huge setup that depends heavily on this bug NOT happening and it seems to work properly every time now.

This is not related to pistons at all. It's due to the hopper being able to pickup items anywhere within the block above itself. So the tick that the item is made the hopper picks it up. Without the hoppers the piston does end up pushing the shulker into the next block

It is related to pistons, the title says what happens. The hoppers are just there to easily demonstrate it, they are not part of the bug.
But it does actually seem to be fixed. I take your comment as confirmation of what I asked in my previous comment, so this ticket can be closed.
