Experience orbs will rapidly accelerate toward the ground if they are being pulled towards the player and the orbs were at any point stuck inside a solid block.
Steps to reproduce
Build a dispenser throwing bottles o' enchanting.
Block the dispenser by placing a block in front of it (as in, make the thrown bottles spawn & break inside the block)
Move close enough to the experience orbs to where you'll start slightly pulling them towards but not close enough to absorb them.
Observe the behaviour of the experience orbs.
Observed behavior
Experience orbs will behave normally if there's no player pulling on them.
Experience orbs will behave normally if they haven't been inside a solid block (i.e., the dispenser output isn't obstructed).
If the experience orbs were previously stuck in a solid block and a player pulled on the experience orbs, they will rapidly zoom toward the ground even after they moved away from the player/player moved away.
Expected behavior
The motion of the experience orbs would be smooth.

Relates to MC-279284.
Actually can reproduce.
This issue appears to be VERY closely related to MC-279284
I couldn’t reproduce it before because I was throwing the bottles against a flat wall. But it does still happen when throwing the bottles against a corner (because they still get stuck inside blocks in that case)
Can confirm.
