[MC-116641] Illusioners appear stacked when first provoked

Illusioners appear stacked until they split into the "illusions".

Summon an Illusioner and switch to Survival mode.
Wait until the Illusioner creates mirror images of itself. Once it does, switch to Creative mode and look at the Illusioner closely.

The Illusioner's illusions appear stacked; see the screenshots attached.

The illusions would not be stacked in such a visible way.

Can someone please check, if this still applies to 1.15.2 or the latest 1.16 development snapshot (currently that is 20w07a)?

~~Probably not. I checked it awhile ago.~~

Was able to reproduce in 20w07a.

Nevermind. I am also able to reproduce this in 20w07a.
