[0.16.15] Inconsistent inserter to splitter behaviour

[aaargha]

When placing items onto a belt with a inserter the lane the items end up in differs for some directions depending on whether you unload onto a splitter or not, this might break some builds in certain rotations.

Huh, did not check my search far enough back it seems. Kind of weird behaviour to have as intended though.

It's by deisgn that the items are dropped 'after' the splitter (so they aren't split), however it can't be by design that they end up on the other lane of the belt. This breaks certain blueprints when rotate, which can't be what they want.
