The bug
Despite MC-153370 has been resolved as Cannot Reproduce, Villagers from meeting points REALLY have AI that becomes frozen when freshly generating new chunks. These don't go to bed, even if there are many free beds, don't work, don't breed and don't even move until a zombie or illager gets close to it, then it will try to flee. After that, its AI is frozen again.
How to reproduce
Start a new world
Use
/locate
to find a nearest villageTeleport there
Look at the meeting point
→ ❌ Observe that those villagers are not doing anything
I can confirm this, they seem to be more stubborn than other naturally generated villagers.
It's perhaps related to MC-160250 & MC-166764 where naturally generated villagers have a decreased follow range.
