It's actually a different issue, the bonemeal gets used up as expected and the hand animation in this case is correct, the issue would be that the bonemeal is used up even though there is no result - this is intentional as per Mojang, see MC-3660 for example.
Can confirm.
I think this may be intended. The sapling needs bone meal to grow, but then it can't grow. So, it's like a failed attempt at growing, which should cost the same.
Confirmed. However, if you put 4 Jungle saplings together under some sort of roof or something, because big trees vary in height it may take a few tries to get it to work.
While consuming 1 bone meal each time it doesn't work.
I'd say this is intended.
This functionality (including the most recent comment on taking a couple tries to grow) is intended.
