Can't reproduce in 21w16a. There were changes to monuments in earlier snapshots, so it might be fixed.
Probably fixed in 21w07a along with the fix of MC-211224.
This has indeed been fixed along with MC-211224.
I think the more likely explanation is that the grass is generating first, then the monument places its pillars all the way down to the topmost block – which can in some cases be the pre-existing sea grass.
