Cave generation peculiarities along chunk borders under oceans and beaches

When flying through the ground in spectator mode it is possible to come across small, thin vertical caves along chunk borders. While fairly rare, these air pockets seem to occur most frequently along beaches and stone shores, although I found one such cave completely under the ocean (see screenshots). My theory is that cave/ravine generation near oceans/water has been buggy for a long time (see MC-125033, MC-126133 and [MC-225344]) and that these small cavities are a rare artifact of this issue which hasn't been documented yet. Of note, the buggy caves in the first screenshot generate slightly differently in both 1.16.5 and 1.17pre4.

Can confirm in 1.17.1-pre1.

Thinking about it some more I'm wondering if this issue might be the same as MC-125033. Anyone else feel one way or the other?

I'm fairly certain by this point that this report, MC-125033, MC-124988 and MC-126133 cumulatively describe 1-2 issues. Hopefully when the devs take a look at one of them it will fix them all.

Not really an issue anymore in 21w40a (inasmuch as it ever was an issue). Should probably be closed as either Fixed or Cannot Reproduce.
