The Bug
Pointed dripstone was recently added to Bedrock Edition in the latest beta, and like solid blocks actually produces a shadow around it. This shadow is not present in Java Edition resulting in this parity issue. Bedrock Edition screenshots sourced from a video by wattles

It's fixed in Bedrock in the latest beta: [MCPE-115287]
I do not have access to the Bedrock Edition of the game however, I can confirm that no shadows are produced from dripstones in Java Edition.
