I believe this may be the same issue as MC-121048.
MC-121048 is kind of the same issue; it describes how the issue works, while this ticket shows the result.
Can confirm in 1.17.1. This can be more easily reproduced now with named entities; if you punch a named mob and it dies from the fall damage, it will just say "fell from a high place" instead of "was doomed to fall by <Player>".
Can confirm in 20w51a.
