[MCPE-233913] Wither repeats its "spinning" animation

How to trigger:

Create a new world. Use Creative Mode and Super-flat (recommended). [Also, it is highly recommended that you disable the gamerule “MobSpawning“ to avoid other natural mobs attracting Wither’s hostility! By doing so, the Wither won’t go away; it will just stay stationary!]
Summon a Wither [Use the command “/summon wither“]
Wait for its first explosion (when it is fully ready)
Go away for a distance, until the Wither disappears in your vision (when the Bossbar of Wither disappears )
Go back to the Wither’s initial position
Now you can see the funny scene! The Wither repeats its spinning animation for a few seconds! It seems funny!
