The bug
Bamboo has cullface specified for the top and bottom faces, like many other blocks do. This works fine against solid blocks, for example grass blocks they may grow on, however it does not affect other bamboo blocks which constitute the same bamboo plant.
I originally noticed this on a Sodium instance, however can confirm it affects vanilla as well.
How to reproduce
Enter Spectator mode
Fly underneath bamboo growing on a solid block
Note that the bottom face of the bamboo is culled as expected, but subsequent bamboo is not, despite these faces being completely culled
Compare this behaviour to cactus, where all such faces are culled as one would expect
Expected results
All internal faces of the bamboo plant would be culled due to not being visible normally
Actual results
Bamboo is only culled against solid blocks - bamboo against other bamboo blocks is still always rendered.
