Yep, this can happen, though it can be a bit hard to trigger.
I reproed by shooting a cow with spectral arrows and then throwing a potion of invisibility at it.
Can't reproduce in 1.15-pre4.

I could, as is evident in the screenshot with snow in it. 🙂

This bug persists in Release 1.15 as well. One can see the proper outline of the entity if you are in spectator mode, or both the entity and the player are on the same team with seeFriendlyInvisibles set to true. It likely has to do with the rendering engine skipping the rendering of invisible entities, and that trips up the part that renders glowing. I once used a skin with partial transparency, and it looked very strange with the glowing effect applied. I reason the glowing effect is calculating based on the displayed texture, which would make sense that an invisible entity appears pure white if the textures are ignored with an optimized rendering engine.

If you can see invisible entities in spectator mode or using a team:

Can confirm
