Testing on 1.18.2 and 1.19 with Quilt, it seems to be a vanilla bug dependent on which direction the living entity below you is facing, and it happens to be that the underlying seat / armor stand entity turns to always face where the player is facing. Riding pigs produce the same behaviour.

This may not be fixable purely on the server, and probably would be best left to https://bugs.mojang.com.

As it wouldn't be possible to fix this without hacking into the rendering code, I'll have to consider this a won't-fix.

I may consider making a mod that can fix it client-side if there isn't already one available tho.
