Can confirm.

This is not specific to stalagmites. Same thing happens with lanterns, bamboo, dandelion, and probably a bunch of other blocks of the same size. So please rephrase it as a shulker issue.
I've updated the title along with the description. 👍
Although this issue is now triaged, I'd like to mention that MC-201949 (which seems like the same issue as this) has been marked as WAI in the past.
