The bug
When standing so that the player is just inside lava (a very small range), it is possible to see through it (third screenshot). This also occurs when the player's head is back against a block and touching a block above it in flowing lava that is next to a source block (first two screenshots).
How to reproduce
No surface and no tint
Switch to Creative mode and start flying
Use the following commands
/setblock ~ 64 ~ lava/tp ~ 62.39 ~Start looking up and down
→ At some point you will see no bottom surface but also no tint

You shouldn't mark MC-965 as a duplicate, it's an earlier bug report.
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w04b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
are you in flowing lava in the third picture? Because you can see through flowing lava but not solid lava.
In the latest snapshot (currently 14w06b), I can see through lava without the haze in ANY circumstance, but I think that has to do with the new Spectator mode.
Bug report for water in 20w48a → MC-206561
If you find bugs with how it works now for Lava, please create new bug reports for that as well.
@Fabian Röling MC-206842 describes the issue.
