This still happens with every chest I've tried but also with the Eco sticker boxes. Also tried placing bookshelves next to boxes, but they still prefer the box. I like to use the boxes as decoration, but it's too much of a hazzle with this bug.
Just want to add that this also makes the books disappear from the bookshelf index, so there's no way to make sims read the books unless you know where they've ended up.

Weird that we don't have more reports on this. I have been having this for a good while now (or I haven't because I don't use those ICYA chests anymore because sims will store food to spoil there).
It might be down to distance/routing on how easy this is to reproduce. But the sims will actually prefer putting food in the ICYA chests if both fridges and an ICYA chest are available close by. And I've seen it happen multiple times that a sim will walk a long distance to put the food in the chest rather than a fridge that would have been roughly 10 distance units away from them (and significantly closer to the sim than the chest was). And if the chest and the fridge are both in the same room, a sim will always choose the chest for "Put away" interaction. I haven't been able to figure out under what conditions a sim would put the food in a fridge if a chest is also on the lot.

The Sims 4 software version is 1.74.59.1030
It is the cardboard storage box I noticed it with. I have not tested with any others.
Sim is also taking the dog toys and putting it into the storage box, food dishes, still putting books in there too. Sims will go out of their way to put those things in there.
Now I know the book issue is an existing bug. But the dog toys and prepared food dishes are new ones since the update

This sounds a lot like the bug we have with those Discover university ICYA chests. Maybe check in your game if you can see both bugs and click "Me too" if so. There seems to be something funky going on with items that have an inventory. (I hope we won't be seeing dishes in our bookshelves next! )
