The bug
When four stair blocks are arranged to create a "quarter-aligned anti-slab", and water is placed into all four of these, the water bulges upwards in the center instead of laying flat as one would expect. This effect goes away if the stairs are surrounded by solid blocks with the same Y coordinate.

Connor Steppie, as the reporter of this issue, you might be able to add that "relates to" link to MC-4533 yourself (to this issue, that is).
However, considering that issue got the nonsensical "working as intended" as its resolution, I'd probably try to keep as far away from that bug entry as possible 😛
