When a tadpole grows up into a frog it faces south and gets slowed down. This allows it to negate fall damage by growing up while falling unlike other animals.

This is probably because frogs and tadpoles are separate mobs, unlike other baby animals... I wonder whether a similar issue occurs with other mob conversions, such as zombie villager curing? If not, then perhaps a similar solution could be taken. But if so too, then this issue could be more widespread.
