This ticket has been resolved as a duplicate of MCPE-16371 which is currently working as intended. When a piston finishes extending it no longer has power, at that same moment the other piston becomes powered due to the observer. Since these two events occur simultaneously, the game automatically randomizes which one will trigger first which means your machine will either go forward or backwards randomly.

A work around is to make it so that one side has a piston (not sticky) to prevent the machine from going backwards. You can make devices on the ends or stops for this machine that can swap/replace pistons to change directions.
