The Bug:
Mobs don't panic when burning if standing on blocks placed above water.
This issue was not present in 1.18 Pre-release 1. Below, I've attached two videos that demonstrate the difference in behavior in 1.18-pre1 and 1.18-pre2.

With goats, they did panic in 1.18-pre1 when burning but with other entities such as cows, they didn't, so with this being said, you may experience varying results depending on what entity is burning.
The issue with goats is probably caused by the fix of MC-223917.
This issue has been fixed in 1.18 Pre-release 3.
Issue is caused by blocks over water. This is still present.
My apologies, this issue still appears to be present. As stated above by @unknown, this problem can be seen when mobs are burning on blocks placed above water. I've amended this ticket accordingly to reflect this information. Thank you 🙂
