I threw a splash potion of invisibility on a spider, a cave spider, an endermen and a sheep and they turned completely invisible except for their eyes and the sheep's wool.
what I expected to happen:they would turn completely invisible inclusive their eyes and the sheeps wool
what actually happened: their eyes remained visible

Because it hides the mob, not special effects or things it is wearing. They may choose to change this, but it currently works as expected.
so you are saying wool and eyes are not part of the mob's body?
if this is what you are claiming then steve's hair should be visible while invisible too
Actually, yes. They are different textures. The game simply hides the mob, not the special effects applied to the mob like glowing eyes. They can't make hair show because hair is part of a texture.
The sheep's wool and the wolf's collar is their "armor", so they are visible even if the mob itself is invisible.
What about when you splash a pig with a saddle or a strider with a potion of invisibility? The saddle remains visible. - 23w31a
Not a bug.
