The bug
Some blocks/entities are rendered completely transparent when looking them from certain angles. This seems to occur whenever no other entities (not in the list below) are in the player's field of view, including behind walls.
Affected entities
Falling blocks (e.g. sand, anvils)
Primed TNT in the "bright" flashing stage
Empty item frame
Affected blocks
Chest
Ender Chest
Trapped Chest
Signs without any text
the book of an enchantment table
banners completely for one frame after placing and the wooden part always
pistons and piston heads while extending or retracting
end gateways (extremely offset)
end portals (extremely offset, sometimes outside of the screen)
bed
conduit
bell
To reproduce
Create a superflat "Void" world (or other world where no mobs can spawn)
Place affected blocks/entities
Place non-affected entities, signs with text or mob heads; or go in 3rd person view

Added some more information from MC-161863.
The breaking animations on blocks are also glitchy, this also counts to the water and lava animations
Affects Beds as well.
Can confirm this issue, it seems to effect all block entities.

Can confirm. It seems to occur whenever no other entities (not in the affected list) are in the player's field of view; I added my findings to the report.
