After being damaged by a player, Endermen seem to lose the ability to teleport in order dodge melee attacks, and simply take sword hits to the face without teleporting once. They will still dodge before being damaged. Arrow dodging behavior seems normal
This also seems to cause Endermen to be unable to teleport out of water or lava, but it may be related to a different bug

I'm still noticing stupid Enderman behavior in 14w25b.
Sometimes when they touch water and teleport, they will walk back to the spot where they were and usually walk right back into the water. This behavior is similar to the issue with horses (where riding one while it was pathfinding would cause it to continue back to where it was mounted.)
Come on! It's still in 1.8-pre2 and it's probably never going to be fixed. Come on, Mojang, see and fix this before 1.8 is fully released, otherwise, it will be in it!
Can't reproduce it anymore in 15w49b. It was fixed a few snapshots ago as MC-59777, which somehow is a duplicated version of this ticket.

This issue in particular as been fixed, but there has been a similar issue, MC-101374. They are not the same issue however.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 14w19a / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
