Additional note:
Panda4994 demonstrated it very well in his video (start watching at 23:00 min in for 2min).
He also provides the reason why it happens, so a fix should be easier to do.
He argues though that he doesn't know if a fix would negatively impact performance, so please make sure it doesn't when you fix it.
This got fixed in 1.15, it used to render the whole chest on type=left, now both type=left and type=right render their corresponding halves instead.
