Double chest wont form if shift clicking on the block next to the chest. Will instead form 2 single chests as if you placed a trapped chest next to it. Both function as normal.

Also see [MC-126251] for more information.
This is how chest placing works in 1.13. Holding shift = "connect the chest to the block I'm looking at". If that block is not a chest, it creates a single chest.
