The bug
If a player has an arrow stuck in them and switches to third person mode, the lighting of entities have a dark tone to them. In multiplayer, if any player has an arrow stuck in them, all players will see the lighting bug even if they are not in third person mode.
How to reproduce
Make a new creative world
Equip yourself with diamond armor
Spawn a skeleton (make sure it's night) and spawn a pig to compare the lighting
Switch your gamemode to survival and switch your view to third person using
F5Once a arrow is attached to you, you will see a lighting bug on the pig, and to a lesser extent, the skeleton.
The first picture shows how a pig looks with arrows stuck in me. The next one show how the pig looks without the lighting bug.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Hard to tell. Try it in the day with a roof over the skeleton, unless this bug only works at night.
