How to reproduce:
1) Put a boat on the ground (or in water, in this snapshot boats work on ground)
2) Enter the boat
3) Press one of the keys used to walk sideways to make the boat spin (A or D for qwerty keyboard) or go forward
4) Leave the boat, the boat stops spinning or moving
5) Enter the boat, it continues spinning or moving
I think the game actually pauses the animation instead of not displaying it.
To solve this, you may reset the animation when the player exit or do not pause the animation.

This is a weird behavior because you can make the boat go forward, then leave it, and come one month (in game or not) later and the boat will take its momentum back. Even in Minecraft things aren't supposed to freeze like that, excepted chunk unloading. I consider it a bug since it didn't behave like this in previous versions, and wasn't mentioned in update notes.
I don't see how this is a bug, you're no longer in the boat, and thus shouldn't effect it
(Didn't test, as I'm not on the pc atm)
