The torches that occasionally spawn in mineshafts on the beams above the player's head are not spawning when that mineshaft is under y=0. I don't know if this is an intentional feature, but it does sort of feel like a disconnect between them and normal mineshafts. Thanks!

I found a torch in an abandoned mineshaft under y=0 in 21w08b.

I also did manage to find some torches in abandoned mineshafts below y=0 as well. I think this issue here is that they spawn much less often.
Still affected in 21w14a, though any mineshaft (regular or badlands variant, regardless of y-level) appears to have this reduced torch count (maybe 1 torch per mineshaft). Perhaps the thought was that the lichen that now grows underground replaced them, and torches weren't needed on the badlands surface anyway.
Regardless, seems to be related to MC-216432, where the phantom lights on the client side seem to be where the torches used to spawn, and the sever no longer generates them in the mineshaft.
Wondering if this should just be "works as intended" or "won't fix", considering the issue is just that torches are rarer. Makes sense, gameplay-wise, too.
This is actually caused by MC-239344
Can confirm
