The bug
When using /execute anchored to change the anchoring context of a command, a positional offset is applied to local coordinates (the ones denoted by carets ^ ^ ^). This offset is also applied to relative coordinates (the ones denoted by tildes ~ ~ ~), which does not match behavior in Java Edition. Attached to this ticket is the same command in both editions.
Steps to reproduce
Run the following command in chat:
/execute anchored eyes run setblock ~ ~ ~ command_block
→❌ Block is placed at eye height, not at the feet.

A simpler way to test would be just running
/execute anchored eyes run setblock ~ ~ ~ command_blockin chat, and seeing how it's not placed at feet-height.
