Upon generating a world in 25w09b I found what appears to be a fallen tree that consists of nothing but the stump- the actual fallen part of the tree is nowhere to be found. Using /place, I was able to confirm that the stump is generated, then a random direction is checked and the actual fallen tree portion is generated only if there is enough space in that direction. Is this intended? My expectation was that it would check all four directions in random order and then, if there is no space in any of those directions, placement would fail completely and no stump would be generated.

They’ve done this since they were added to Legacy Console Editions all the way back on December 19, 2017. In fact, there’s a picture on the Minecraft Wiki of the fallen trunk generating on water, and in the background is a lone stump like you described. The trunk portion can also generate in caves or hanging off of a ledge if the circumstances are just right for it to do so.
I believe this works as intended and matches real life.
