I think this may be due to the fact that chest on boats are a few pixels smaller than regular chests and do not use the same texture, but then the question is about the difference in pixels.

Can confirm in 23w03a

Affects in 1.20 Release Candidate 1

The textures for chest boats include both the boat and the chest, which can't be textured independently from each other.
