To reproduce:
Stand on a block with regular blocks around it (so normal ground)
/summon zombie ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"skeleton"}]}
Kill the zombie.
Result: The skeleton moves to the a seemingly random side before landing.
This is not only a pretty random thing for it to do, it also often breaks the workaround for MC-145113, making it even more difficult to use one-command contraptions.
Confirmed fixed.
