After upgrading to 1.4b and loading my game (started in 1.1, played through 1.3), Drawers (basic and basic 1x2) that I have placed in my base are all facing north and items are not displayed on the front.

Update:
After closing the game ("save and quit to title") and trying to re-load the save-game, it got stuck on "loading...".
However, after force quitting Minecraft and reloading, game was loaded and drawers got back to being okay.

Going to assume this is fixed now. Please reopen if you have any new information. Thanks!
