I’m sorry to say, but this isn’t a bug. Rather, it’s entirely intentional. In most aircraft the nav lights are visible all the way around, but furthermore, those lights use a different method for generating than the landing lights use. If you notice, the nav, beacon and strobe lights map such that they are always on a plane perpendicular to the FOV, whereas the landing lights are on a fixed plane, perpendicular to the direction of the aircraft.
