Confirming this on 1.10. The eyes lead to/near a stronghold but not into the portal. Sometimes there are no stronghold structures at the point where the Eye focuses, and it can be very confusing.

Eye of Ender leads to approximately 1864, 32, 840. No stronghold in sight, even if you dig around a bit. There is, however, a very small stronghold near bedrock, having the portal at approximately 1856, 8, 863.

This sounds a lot like MC-70143.

This bug happened first with the 1.9 snapshots. It is probably related but I am not sure if this is really a duplicate.

confirmed to affect 16w39a
since it affects 16w39a now also affects the newly introduced /locate command

The Eye of Ender still finds the stronghold, just not the portal room. The behavior changed in order to support more than 3 strongholds.

I am able to confirm this.
