Occasionally, miners that I place will throw whatever they dig up over the floor instead of putting it in a chest. The chest next to this miner had 3 item stacks inside it, so it's not a case of the chest being full. Could it be due to the miner being on the very edge of a chunk and the chest being in the next (unloaded) one?
[Bug: 1.43] Distant Miners ignore chest and spew stuff on to the ground

Have you stayed near a freshly put miner and see if it properly dropped its content on the chest?

Yes, definitely possible. Whether it's the cause of this bug, unknown.

I've never seen a miner actively spit items out on to the ground unless the chest is full (stupid natural cobblestone generators...).

Sadly, its difficult to see when a chunk start and when it ends, unless you are using the Teleport Pipes for buildcraft with the chunkloader (Theres a key that show you what chunks it will be loading), or ReiMinimap (Theres and option to show a chunk grid, its not exact but it works)
-
Hitting F3 and doing some math also works (0.000001 through 15.999999 is a chunk if you take the remainder of dividing the co-ords by 16)
-
Put the chest on one of the miner's other sides, preferably under it's power cable. It shouldn't be an issue anymore.

I think chest above miner is better, since they will be at same X and Z and obviously same chunk [which is probably the issue]
