The models of minecarts will always appear to face south or east when placed or moved along rails (most notably when moved around corner rails). This affects all minecart models, but is primarily noticable with models that have directional elements like the furnace and chest minecarts with their chest lock, and front face of the furnace.
Steps to Reproduce:
Recreate the following setup:
[media]
Place down a chest or furnace minecart
Observed Behavior:
The hinge of the chest minecart will always face towards the south or east direction, and the front of the furnace minecart will always face north or west (the furnace is "backwards" in the model, which is why it is inverted).
Expected Result:
The minecart would always face the direction it is traveling towards, instead of having a static orientation.

Old description
Special minecarts (with chest, furnace, TNT) notably face only one static direction. The lock on chests always faces south or east, and the face side of the furnace always faces north or west (TNT is affected too, but is harder to explain).
I suppose these blocks should always be facing the same direction as the minecart's moving to, and not relative to the world.
Might be related to MC-201, as the player's field of view is also not affected by the minecart's moving direction.

Dammit, just found out this issue is partial duplicate of MC-8309. Well, this affects not only furnace minecarts but any minecarts.

Either way, this is still present in 14w11b, even if it was much older than I'd thought.

I currently can't test this properly for 19w09a, because of the bug where minecarts can't go past a turn.
But if I place a minecart (with chest or furnace) manually in all facing directions, it seems to still be affected.

This happens with any version and due programming of minecart, minecarts will always face one direction independent of where it was placed, i would like if minecarts will face direction in where player placed them it would be better like the furnace cart hole always face the front and same for chest cart, the iron thing on front will always be as front of chest cart

While this may not be necessary, I have written a new description of this report with a cleaner format:

This affects all minecart models, but is primarily noticable with models that have directional elements like the furnace and chest minecarts with their chest lock, and front face of the furnace.
