edit: WAI like MC-65528, armor stands don't use their rotational data for rendering.

This duplicates MC-65528. The spectator's vision is working as expected and properly faces the looking direction of the armor stand, just that the armor stand's looking direction is always south regardless of it's visual appearance.

...who marked this as WAI? And why did he/she do that?
Uh... a developer. They have the ability to do so.

The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.9 using MCP 9.24 beta.
The reason for this is that the class net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase (of which the ArmorStand entity is a subclass) uses the field net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase.rotationYawHead to get the direction the entity is looking. The problem is that only the subclass net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving (of which the ArmorStand entity is no subclass) has an EntityBodyHelper and an EntityLookHelper, which adjust the direction the entity is looking. Because of this the head direction stays keeps its default value. To solve this, the class net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase should override the method net.minecraft.entity.Entity.setLocationAndAngles(double, double, double, float, float) to set the head yaw value as well and then the class net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving would need to override the method using the original code.
If the developers actually care, it is still an issue in 18w06a. It isn't a serious issue though, as it does not impede the actual functionality of facing commands.
