I was sitting in my boat and when I put my leather boots on, it showed my head backwards even though I was facing forward.
Details:
When in a boat, the horizontal angle of the player's head when viewed in the armor menu is related to the position of the boat in the water, not the position of the player's head relative to the rest of his/her body. The vertical angle of the player's head when viewed in the armor menu does not at all track the vertical angle of the player's head relative to the rest of his/her body.
I expected the head of the player in the armor menu to always face forward as it does when in a minecart, or to be the position of the head relative to the player's body (both vertical and horizontal)
How to reproduce this: Get in a boat, open the armor menu and see the player's horizontal head angle. Now paddle the boat a little bit on one side to turn the boat, being careful not to move the player's head. Check the armor view again and you'll see the player's head position in the armor menu has moved and is inconsistent with the player's head position in game.

This is a bulk resolve of issues that haven't been updated to 0.16.0+ yet. Please comment below (To open the ticket) and update your affected versions. If you cannot reproduce the bug, please write in the comments so we can resolve it as "Cannot Reproduce". Thank You!
Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 5.0.1 running MCPE 0.11.1 in survival mode in both 1st and 3rd person views. This bug does not affect creative mode because you cannot see the armor inventory in that mode. I have also updated the description with these details:

How to reproduce this: Get in a boat, open the armor menu and see the player's horizontal head angle. Move the view small amounts being careful not to move the position of the boat and observe that the head angle changes small amounts or does not change. Next, without changing your view angle, paddle one side of the boat several times and then entering the armor menu. You will see your player's head spinning in horizontal circles in the same direction that the boat is moving in the water (visible behind the menu) creepy!
