This behaviour can be seen with almost every entity and not just axolotls. As far as I am aware, it was only announced that goats should avoid powder snow, so this may "Works As Intended", however, I can confirm.

You are right, this might be a duplicate of MC-205046. Edit: I don't think it is a duplicate of that issue because it describes the behavior when mobs are wandering, and axolotls are not wandering when they attempt to pathfind into water.

The only mob that should be able to pathfind around powder snow is Goats therefor this is Works as Intended

Now duplicates MC-208601.
