Cover Podzol with any block, I used dirt. The podzol remains even when covered with a block. It should change to dirt blocks just like grass behaves when covered with blocks.

Is this also present in 1.19.3?
Yes, podzol always worked this way ever since it had been introduced to the game.
We already have a bug report about this: MC-58431. Resolved this as a duplicate.
Edit: Not quite since it's been added, but it's been this way since 1.8 according to the wiki.
