The bug
You can't pick up water from a waterlogged block if you're not looking at the waterlogged block itself, but an adjacent block face. Placing water works just fine that way.
Original description
You can't pick up water placed in a chest by right clicking the top face of the block below the chest.

This affects all waterlogged blocks (not just chests), I changed the summary and the description to better depict that.
Confirmed. I attached a screenshot to clarify what's meant.
Placing works fine btw, as well as shift-clicking onto the chest itself.
