Breaking a Furnace will not give you the experience for the smelted things inside
I wanted to reordner my chests and furnaces, but have forgotten to get everything out of the furnaces. as i broke those, i did not get any experience for anything inside. the furnace was not alightened anymore, so i have forgotten to check if it is empty.
to reproduce this:
1. fill in a few raw (maybe 8, like i had) chicken (or anythin else what can be smelted) and a coal in the furnance to get it hotten 
2. wait for the coal to burn down
3. when the work is done, grab your pickaxe and collect the furnace. it will drop you the cooked chicken and the furnace as intended, but no experience you would get for cooking the chicken.

Original Description:
Exactly as the title says. This was just recently fixed in a snapshot on Java. I just wanted to make sure the bedrock team knew.
If you want more information on this here is the Java bug report: MC-1601
Thank you for your report!
We're actually already tracking this issue in MC-1601, so I resolved and linked this ticket as a duplicate.
However, that ticket has already been resolved as Fixed. The fix will arrive in the next version or is already included in the latest development version of the game.
If you haven't already, you might like to make use of the search feature in the future to see if the issue has already been reported.

Confirmed, still in 1.4.4. Furnace and items drop but no xp. Tested all pick axes too.
Can confirm.
Why was this marked "works as intended"? Does anyone have any reason to believe this is not a bug? By the way, I tested this in 14w02c, and furnaces still don't give XP when mined.
Yes. Mojang:
Oh dear. Thanks.
Might need reconsidering now that furnaces store XP.
