It only seems to occur if you click on the bell with a bare hand or while holding something that does not have a right click action (e.g. bones and swords will cause it to play twice, but blocks and bows don't). Clicking on it with an item that does have a right-click action will play the bell once and use the item, which is unlike the behavior for other blocks (triggering the block without using the item).

Still in 19w13a
Cannot reproduce in 19w13b. The bell now sounds exactly like it does when using /playsound, unless the game lags badly and causes me to hit the bell multiple times.
Edit: I was ringing the bell using the bell item when trying to reproduce.

I was still able to reproduce this bug in a naturally bell generated in village.
It has some sort of echo to it. Wouldn't really pinpoint that as playing the sound twice. Maybe the soundfiles got changed to sound more bell like?That would have a little bit of echo IRL.
