this still present in 20w27a?

Can confirm in 20w51a. I believe this is because mobs have invulnerability ticks and this prevents you being able to damage them quickly.

I don't think so. The invulnerability is pretty short and this is done with a bow, which needs a minimum charging time to fire an arrow at all.

If you set the nbt of an arrow to {damage:0.0d}, then the arrow will bounce off of the shooter and possibly any other players. It literally cannot hit a player entity. If the damage is not zero, it will behave normally.

Can confirm in 21w05a. This is easier to reproduce if you perform this with an iron golem.

Can confirm. I shot a skeleton, and it bounced off and hit me 😛
Edit: Also can occur with the player very rarely. A skeleton shot me and the arrow bounced off me and hit him instead for no reason. Is this a separate bug?
can confirm in 1.17.1

Can confirm in 21w41a. The expected behavior here would be that arrows cannot bounce off mobs during their brief invulnerability period after being damaged.
