No response for over a year.
Can't confirm this specific issue, but can confirm MC-2494 which was resolved as a duplicate of this - not convinced they're the same issue though.
Might be intended because that's how mobs have always behaved, also in 1.9 zombies target players over villagers if the player is in the zombies sight.
I tried to reproduce this for 1.13 & 18w30b with 5 zombies and 5 villagers, this is what happened:
The 4/5 zombies tried to kill the "trapped" villager, but only one went to the other villagers, but he didn't hurt them. Once the "trapped" villagers were zombies, all of them went to the other normal villagers.
Relates to MC-86664.
Does this still occur in the current release (1.14.2)?

Here is my video report showing that mobs instead of attacking a possible target, try to attack a target that is inaccessible to them:

Kinda related to MC-590, in that a fix for one may inadvertently fix the other, depending on how it's done.
