It's a rather hilarious bug, but I can place water sources inside the following: Chests, Ender chests, Trapped chests, Double chests, Fences, Slabs, Stairs, Scaffolding, Trapdoors, Ladders, Walls, Signs, Campfire, End Crystals. Lava does not have the same issue. Tested on both version 1.14.4 and snapshot 19w36a in Singleplayer and Multiplayer. Attached pictures are from Multiplayer.

I don't see what the bug is. Waterlogging blocks was added in 1.13 so that these ones will not just be filled with air when underwater. A site benefit is that source blocks can be inserted into them.
Is there something I'm missing?
