The bug
Local coordinates (^ ^ ^) are supposed to point relative to the direction the entity is facing. This works for players, but is not consistent for other mobs.
How to reproduce
1. Download the attached world
2. Walk around the enclosed mobs
Expected behavior
The particles indicating the direction of ^ ^ ^3 for each mob should match the direction that mob is facing, like this:
Observed behavior
As the mobs turn around, the particles remain in place, indicating that the direction of the local coordinates is wrong.

Is this still an issue when you remove the walls? If you want to keep the mobs standing in one place, you can use a repeating command block to teleport them there.
I guess you could use a command block to keep them in place, but why complicate things? Especially if that ends up preventing the issue from being observable?
Thank you for your report!

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If yes, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter)?
