The ender dragon struggles to turn toward players behind it while perched

The Bug: The Dragon doesn’t turn directly towards me, instead making small, jittery movements towards my general location.

Expected Result: The Dragon successfully turns toward my general location, and attacks with Dragon's Breath.

Actual Result: The Dragon unsuccessfully turns toward my general location, instead making small, jittery movements towards my general location.

How to Replicate:
* Go into the end while in survival mode and wait for the Dragon to perch.
* Move away from the first Dragon's breath attack and move randomly around the Dragon; this bug tends to happen more frequently if you’re behind the Dragon.
* The Dragon should struggle with turning towards you.

Do note that this bug has been an issue for longer than mentioned in the bug report, but I don’t exactly know when this bug started occurring.
If someone else could try and find the exact version of the game in which this bug first started happening, that would be very helpful.

Can confirm, this is a clone of MC-99298
