[MCPE-168892] Facing of player is copied when using summon inside a function

When I type the command:

/summon sheep 5 5 5

Then a sheep is summon facing South at location 5 5 5.

But when I put that same command into a function:

[baaaa.mcfunction]
summon sheep 5 5 5

And run it:

/function baaaa

Then the sheep is summoned copying my facing.

I'm not clear whether this is a bug or a feature however. I actually wouldn't mind using execute rotated 0 0 run summon sheep 5 5 5, as it would let me control facing for summons and save teleporting them after.

Attached a mcpack I was able to reproduce it in:

/tp -24 69 17
/summon sheep -24 69 17

Will summon a South facing sheep regardless of player facing, while

/function sheepcall

Will summon a sheep that copies player facing.
