steps to reproduce..
use /locate to find a Trial Chamber
see the output text reading "The nearest Trial Chambers is at ..."
expect proper English, "The nearest Trial Chamber is at..."
or "The nearest Trial Chambers are at..."

This may be intended and grammatically correct, since "Trial Chambers" is a proper noun. Compare a shopping mall name "The Shoppes..." or a spa named "The Baths..." We wouldn't say "The Baths are my favorite places." We would say, "The Baths is my favorite place."
Or compare "Ocean Ruins" and "Trail Ruins" in-game.
Since it's not The Trial Chambers I feel that's kind of a poor comparison because it's yet a different context and it also oversimplifies a nuanced aspect of grammar. But it may be so. How can we know for sure? Many instances of inconsistent pluralization have been corrected in the past.
BTW here is a list of some instances in videos, posts and articles where Mojang specifically uses Trial Chamber when referring to just one of the new structures specifically in a singular manner.
