The bug
If you wear unenchanted armor, the armor points don’t reduce damage when standing on a campfire, even though they do reduce damage from magma blocks. This causes zombies to die a bit quicker from campfires than from magma blocks, because they have 2 armor points by default.
How to reproduce:
Wear unenchanted armor, I recommend netherite armor
Stand on a magma block
Stand on a campfire
Compare the damage of the two blocks
❌ The camfire deals more damage, because the armor reduced the magma block damage, but not the campfire damage.
Since they deal the same amount of damage without wearing armor, they also should deal the same amount of damage when wearing armor.

This issue was present in 23w05a, but no longer occurs in versions above or equal to 23w06a. This issue was fixed in 23w06a. To prove this, I've provided two screenshots, both of which were taken at the ten second mark of standing on top of a regular campfire while wearing full netherite armor.
