Chests don't seem to be disappearing at all when broken. I attempted to try to open a chest that I broke and received in my inventory with a sand block in my hand, ended up placing the sand block over the chest. When I broke the sand block, the chest was still there. This has only happened in a new map in a desert temple so far. I started the new map with a bonus chest that I was able to receive in my inventory and no longer showed as being placed. This is on PC with Win 7 and latest Java update.
I had two other furnaces sitting between the one that rotated and a crafting table that did not rotate when fired up. it was only the end furnace that did this.
