Skeletons sometimes take damage when attacking players with Thorns armor

Steps to reproduce:
1. Apply the "Thorns" enchantment (any level, but I specifically experienced the bug with Thorns II) to any piece of armor (I had it on an iron chestplate)
2. Let a skeleton attack you

Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce this consistently.

Care to explain how this "works as intended?" It doesn't make sense to me for it to be intentional, considering that skeletons attack using a projectile...

Thorns works regardless of range, has always been the case and is specifically coded that way.
