The bug
Hoppers can now pull items from blocked chests. However, this is not working correctly for double chests. If the second chest (first chest being the one where the hopper is below) is blocked the hopper is unable to pull items from the double chest.
Code analysis
Based on 1.11.2 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1
The method net.minecraft.block.BlockChest.getContainer(World, BlockPos, boolean) ignores the allowBlocking paramter (= third parameter; should be called "allowBlockedChests" or similar) when checking if adjacent chests are blocked.

Confirmed for 16w42a.
Hoppers only seem to care if the far side of the double chest has a block on top. Additionally, they can insert items into blocked singlechests just fine. http://i.imgur.com/sZmvkNt.png
I was relieved to find that this bug has already been reported. I added some more photos that i think helps to show whats going on. I agree that it seems to be because the chest is blocked. Since when i break the block the items feed into the chest as expected. However, it doesn't effect single chests. Only double ones.
EDIT: By the way confirmed for 1.11.2 is the version i am in.
