Cleaning colored leather armor also equips it

Using dyed leather armor on a cauldron causes it to both be cleaned and equipped by the player.

What I expected to happen was....

The armor to only be cleaned

What actually happened was....

The armor is both cleaned and equipped afterwards

Steps to reproduce....

1. Dye any piece of leather armor
2. Have no armor on that slot (ex: if the armor piece is a chestplate, have no chestplate equipped)
3. Right click a filled cauldron with it
4. → The armor piece is both cleaned and equipped
