The world was created in one of the previous snapshots
Worlds created in current snapshot don't have the same issue
Re-creating the same world doesn't have the same issue
At night no mobs spawn in the Overworld.
Mobs do however spawn in the Nether naturally and from spawners in both the Nether and the Overworld
Here is a side-by-side comparison of the the original and a re-created worlds (same location)

2018-11-11_15.23.54.png - re-created, mobs

I'm sorry, but i dont think those are the same. In the thread https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-137795 it seems mobs aren't spawning at certain heights, or crops are not griwing, however in my case it's not the case at all. The bug is listed as 'fixed' however when I tried loading my world in 18w48b and the bug still exists.
