The bug
Endermen, blazes and striders don't take damage from several splash potions that likely should damage them, since they are similar to water. A list of affected potions can be found below.

What I expected to happen was:
Endermen, blazes and striders took damage.
What actually happened was:
Endermen, blazes, snow golems and striders wouldn't be damaged by these potions, since they are variants of splash and lingering water bottles.

what is the bug, that the potions would or would not hurt the blazes and endermen?
I find this a bit unclear:
What I expected to happen was:
Endermen and blazes wouldn't be damaged by these potions, since they are variants of splash and lingering water bottles.
What actually happened was:
Endermen and blazes took damage.
But you first say this:
Endermen and Blazes don't take damage from several splash potions that likely should damage them, since they are similar to water. A list of affected potions can be found below.
@unknown, the bug is that the potions don't hurt the endermen and blazes. If you read the summary and description (under "the bug") closely, you'll see more information on whether this issue concerns aspects of the game and whether they do happen or whether they don't. If you test this for yourself you should see that most of the potions in the list don't hurt blazes and endermen (currently the only exception being the lingering water bottle, which is marked off as fixed in 1.11-pre1)
The reason I included the seemingly contradictory information under What I expected to happen was: and What actually happened was: is because I try to get my reports to follow the precedent set in MC-1. Most of the time, descriptions listed under What I expected to happen was: list information directly opposite of the actual findings observed when testing. Hope this helps! 🙂
Note that Snow Golems should be taking damage from these things too. This may be more of an oversight than a real bug but in 20w11a
Dupe of MC-106721, although this should be made the main ticket as it contains more information.
