I could confirm but only by teleporting to y=10^16 (1 with 16 zeros).
Console output:

Workaround: Open your <minecrafetName>.dat in <YourWorld>/players (if multiplayer) or level.dat if singleplayer with some NBT editing program. Then find "y" (in player subtag for level.dat) variable and change it to reasonable value.

I can confirm this bug still exists.
You can repdroduce this by using

/tp ~ 3.5e38 ~

The bad thing is, this will also kick you from a Server and you will never be able to join.

This is definitely the Server's fault for allowing to get there.
