Deep Frozen Ocean biome is not generating ice blocks on the surface, unlike shallow Frozen Ocean does. If the generation of an ice patch in a shallow Frozen Ocean attempts to enter the deep biome, it will be just cut, like if entered in warmer water.
Shots 5 and 4: same seed (pollinating sandboxes), same coordinates (0 128 0 0 90), but deep frozen ocean buffet in shot 5 and shallow frozen ocean in shot 4.
Shots 3, 2 and 1: an example in a default world. Shot 1 shows frozen ocean at left and deep frozen ocean at right. Shots 2 and 3 show the two sides of the biome border, at the same location.

I checked 1.13 decompiled source.
This biome initialized temp = 0.5
azb.class
........setTemperature(0.5F).setRainfall(0.5F).setWaterColor(3750089)..........
This bug also making polar bears can't spawn on deep frozen ocean, because polar bears can only spawn on regular ice.
I would like to request ownership of this ticket as the current reporter has been inactive since April 2019.
Still an issue in pre5.
