Once upon a time, Pillagers had improper arm positioning when wielding weapons other than a crossbow (Example: MC-139225). Then, they had arms sticking down when wielding something other than a crossbow. In 18w47a, they stick their arms out, regardless of whether or not they are holding a crossbow.
As of 18w47b, they hold their arms in a slightly different position; one folded across the other.
In 18w48a, pillagers holding the improper item have yet another arm position change; this time, one arm sticks all the way through its body and the other sticks out the opposite way it was in 18w47b.
Looks like you pasted the wrong issue key
