Having the same problem (cannot put chests on chests without the chest's inventory opening while crouched, same for facing hoppers into them).
Seems to be a wider problem with crouching though. I also can't put down a boat on a button while crouched for example (spawnproofed ice road), so seems to have to do with all interactable blocks.
Happens on survival server, playing with controller on PS4.
