[MCPE-84304] Mob cross arms (bow position) when targeting and holding something in the offhand

Whenever a type of zombie (except for drowned) has an item in it's offhand, it correctly positions like a player, but when it is chasing/attacking an entity, it crosses its arms as if it is charging a bow.

How to reproduce:

Spawn a zombie.
Type command: /replaceitem entity @e [type=zombie] slot.weapon.offhand 0 shield
Go into survival mode or spawn a villager.
Notice the position of the zombie’s arms when it is chasing/attacking.

Has been reported to affect zombie, husk, pillager, vindicator or evoker at least.

Please update the report with steps on how to reproduce the issue.

What I expected to happen was...:
When I killed a squid, it should have dropped an ink sac.
What actually happened was...:
Instead, it dropped an apple.
Steps to Reproduce:
Find a squid (though we all know how difficult they are to find when you actually want to find one).
Kill the squid.
Notice that it drops apples instead of ink sacs. How am I supposed to get black dye now?

It's strange that the position when hostile is a bow position. It should remain a humanoid one.
