The Bug
I've found that in spectator mode if you spectate armor stands, you get rotated towards the positive Z-axis/ the south. When you exit, your rotation is changed to the armor stand rotation. Can be recreated in both single-player and on a server.
Reproduce
Go into spectator
Spectate an Armor Stand
Press Shift
Observed Result
The players rotation was facing south
Expected Result
The player would be facing how the armor stand is facing

Relates to MC-99556?

It does relate, but it occurs with other entities aside from minecarts. I originally found the issue when I tried to spectate an armor stand.

Weird, I was getting this issue but it's not happening anymore.

Occurs in 21w37a, but it seems that you are only rotated after exiting the perspective with armor stands. While spectating them, the f3 menu actually differs from your camera rotation. Item frames still do it, furnace minecarts do not.

This duplicates MC-65528. The spectator's vision is working as expected and properly faces the looking direction of the armor stand, just that the armor stand's looking direction is always south regardless of it's visual appearance.
