Armor, shields and elytra are dropped by dispenser if they cannot be equipped but skulls and pumpkins are not
The bug
As stated in MC-45743 and MC-48239 it is intended that skulls and pumpkins are not dropped when they cannot be equipped for a mob in front or cannot be placed to spawn a mob (wither, snowman and iron golem). However, armor, shields and the elytra are dropped when they cannot be equipped.
Expected behavior
Armor, shields and the elytra are not dropped when there is no mob in front which can equip the item.
Code analysis
Based on 1.11.2 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1
The method net.minecraft.item.ItemArmor.DISPENSER_BEHAVIOR.new BehaviorDefaultDispenseItem() {...}.dispenseStack(IBlockSource, ItemStack) calls the method of the parent class which then drops the item.

Swekob and [Mod] redstonehelper, that is now MC-114107.
The bug
The report MC-109400 indicates that items with special dispense behavior are not supposed to be dropped when the requirements for the behavior are not met. This is similar to how droppers only drop items if there is no container in front of them.
However, some items are dropped when their special dispense behavior cannot dispense them. This makes this quite inconsistent.

Note: Armor, shields and the elytra have their own report (MC-114107) in case this report is invalid, because for them it is inconsistent with pumpkins and skulls as well.
