This happens in Singleplayer, any gamemode, especially on lower render distance.
Expected:
When loading a world, your hand should be holding the thing currently selected in the hotbar.
Actually seen:
Your hand starts out (briefly) holding the thing selected in the hotbar in the last world you were in, then it does the item-switching animation (lower hand holding previous item, raise hand now holding current item).
It's quick, so to reproduce it, try a few times.
Steps:
1) Have 2 worlds created.
2) In one world, select something from the hotbar so it's held in-hand, e.g. lime wool.
3) Save and quit, open the other world. Select something else in-hand, e.g. nether brick.
4) Save and quit, open the first world again. Your hand will lower the nether brick, and raise the lime wool.

Confirmed for 14w25a
How to see it very clear:
Open first world get dirt in your hand
Close first world
Open second world and while opening open another programm or minimize Minecraft
May relate to the bug where boss health bars are still visible for a moment after going into a different world/server.
Confirmed.
