The bug
Entities killed inside or on top of powder snow do not convert nearby blocks to sculk.
Steps to reproduce
Place a sculk catalyst near sculk spreadable blocks.
Kill a blaze with powder snow within 8 blocks of the catalyst.
Expected result
The catalyst converts nearby blocks into sculk blocks.
Observed result
Only the blooming particles are emitted, with the blocks not being converted.

This excerpt from the wiki leads me to believe this is a bug. As well as because this works just fine in the overworld

It appears I misinterpreted the changelogs when I initially read them, so disregard my prior comment.
Do note that the wiki is not an official source, and is a community created, written and maintained site.
after further testing, it seems that line of sight to the sculk makes this feature work. Ill post specific images soon. Note that this line of sight does not seem to be required for usage in the overworld
That doesn't cause it to drop experience points either... it needs to be a player kill in order to drop experience, and sculk spreads by replacing experience with charge.
