When in spectator mode, you can click on entities and look at what they are seeing, so I thought, what if you click on a painting or item frame because they are entities too. So I did, and you are able to "view" what the item frame or painting is seeing. I also tried it with some other things such as fireballs, arrows, and flying wither heads, but it only seems to effect item frames and paintings.
P.S. I did not find any other reported glitch explaining this, so if I am mistaken and there is already one, sorry...

That you are able to spectator as an item frame and painting. I don't think
this is intended, but if it is, my mistake. If it is then you are looking 1
block higher than the actual painting, so either way there is a bug.
Confirmed in 14w06b. Actually you can spectate boats, minecarts, falling blocks, ender crystals and even primed TNT. I don't know if you can spectate lightning bolt, but probably you can't.
Confirmed in 07a for leash knots, paintings, item frames, primed TNT, falling blocks, ender crystal.
Somehow I got motionless fireballs in my world (another bug, another report:search "fireball physics") and I was able to spectate as those fireballs.
What exactly is the bug ?
That you are able to spectate as Item frame or Painting or
that you are not able to spectate as Fireball ?
