Bells only apply the glowing affect to raid mobs within 48 blocks, despite the 1.14.2 Pre-release blog post saying "Increased search radius for bell when starting a raid from 48 to 64 blocks". This was tested in both 1.14.2-pre1 and 1.14.2.
To reproduce
Place a bell (e.g. at x=0, z=0)
Summon NoAI raid mobs within 32, 48 and 64 blocks, e.g. with the following command:
/summon vindicator ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1b,PersistenceRequired:1b}Ring the bell
Mobs farther than 48 blocks but closer than 64 blocks will not receive the Glowing effect. In the attached screenshot (2019-05-31_15.54.13.png), the iron blocks represent a distance of 10 blocks.

I "found" the report that relates to this: MC-153669
The glowing effect of ringing the bell on illagers is not what "Increased search radius for bell when starting a raid from 48 to 64 blocks" means. Instead, raids look for a bell to center themselves around when a player enters a village. This is the radius that was increased, so this is Working As Intended.
Hey everyone!
Sorry for the lack of description about this one in the blog post. As stated by Tim, these are two different things. The functionality spoken about in the blog post is actually now obsolete, as the raid center is no longer connected to the location of the bell when you enter a village. At the time, however, we had increased this search to 64 blocks from the raid trigger location to search for a bell, and that's what the blog post was speaking of.
The bell-glow-search-radius is currently 48, and that is working as intended. Though this value is subject to change in the future, these are two separate things, so this is currently WAI 🙂
I also noticed a similar bug that causes the bell to affect mobs from 48 blocks away, but only if one of those mobs is 32 blocks away. I am not sure if that was reported yet, but I will provide a link to that report if I find it.
