just commenting since i found this bug too. it seems to be because the game isn't actually treating the chest as being open for long enough, causing it to bug out. the reason i came to this conclusion is because it always happens due to the player having a chest open for too long (about 6-7 seconds), causing the closing sound to play without actually displaying the animation. i'm also going to upload a screenshot i just took of this bug occurring to two chests in my singleplayer world on the latest snapshot
