[0.16.36] Inserter putting item on splitter puts it on left

See image attached.

When putting item down.
On belt: puts to right side
On splitter: puts to left side

This feels inconsistent.

It's worse than that. It depends on which way the whole thing is rotated: if you take a blueprint of your whole screenshot and rotate it, it will work differently in some directions than others.

For example, in my screenshot below the north and west setups have items on right lane of the belt, while the identical east and south setups have items on the left lane. This means that working factory blueprints can, when rotated, stop working.
