The bug
Normally when you break the docks in a floating village the water fills in the empty space. In the newest snapshot it's just sitting there. I tried outside the village with newly placed blocks and the same thing happened.

New water source blocks only generate when solid blocks are directly below. Like in your picture, the water "holes" are only in deep water.
It flows on solid blocks. Just empty a bucket on land. You can create 1 block deep lakes without a problem.
Also it appears to have very random behaviors in general, in this attached instance it split into a v instead of spreading like it used to.
This might not be part of the the issue but I sometimes get one block air pockets in water if I keep using the empty bucket on water in creative mode fast enough.
Can confirm, tried to fill a space with water and noticed it would not spread but stay in that form.
