Some blocks slow down minecarts travelling around a corner

The bug

When a minecart goes around a corner with a block in the corner it slows down. How much it slows down depends on what block it is. Hoppers slow down the minecart by a lot, while fences don't slow it down as much.

Affected blocks

Here is a (selection of) affected blocks. The amount of slowdown does appear to be somewhat related to the hitbox, but there are some inconsistencies.

The bug only works with some blocks. such as: hoppers, lecterns, end rods, and more. The bug still works in 20w48a

here is a video which proves this: https://youtu.be/rPKbZ9C6h7Q

Can confirm in 20w51a.

Can confirm in 21w03a.

Confirmed for 1.20.2. The minecart will stop instantly in a curve even with full speed and a player inside (see the picture). Also happens with the azalea and bell block.

Transferring ownership to @unknown due to the current reporter being inactive and not updating the issue for a long time.

This issue is fixed in the 24w33a+ minecart experiment. My original intention was to update this report with a clear outline of blocks which were affected and never got to it, however this does not seem necessary anymore should this fix be implemented later.
