Minecart with furnace feels like it hasn't been updated or looked into for a long time and feels like a neglected part of the game that most people have probably forgotten, I am also posting other bugs I have found about rail/minecarts.
What I expected to happen:
In the situation attached in picture 1 and 2 I would expect when the furnace is to be fuelled that the minecart (attached by the train mechanic) should follow, and if the ride were to be to violent for the train mechanic, it would simply detach
What actually happened was:
The minecart(empty) ended up in front of the minecart with furnace as shown in picture 3
Steps to reproduce
Build the structure shown in picture 1
Place a cart on the closest rail on the right
Place a minecart with furnace on the slope(to create the train), this should leave you with picture 2
Stand on the minecart(empty) side of the minecart with furnace (or sit in the minecart)
Use coal on the furnace to fuel it
[Works on all axis as shown in picture 4]

Does MC-158363 describe your issue?
Violine1101 It may be more related to MC-179971 (as mentioned by marty mcfly) as it seems to go through the block below and that's how it gets ahead of the furnace?
Hmm, I don't think it is since it appears to be specific to the linkage between furnace minecarts and regular minecarts.
I'll leave this open and mark it as related to the other two issues.
Technically minecart linking is not a feature, but the empty minecart definitely should not get ahead of the furnace minecart. May be caused by MC-179971 affecting the empty minecart but not the furnace minecart.
