I say that the world border is simply the world BORDER, therefore you really shouldn't be able to cross it.
@kumasasa it will be unfair for players to lose all of their equipment just because they accidently shot an ender pearl through the barrier, and because of the damage being dealt they will lose their equipment.
It would be better if you just could be teleported to the closest block of air from the world border after you teleported. For example: the world border is at (50,20+1,40) and you teleport to (60,10+1,40) - the wolrd border is directly in your back and the "+1" comes from the block of air. After you teleported, you will be teleported to (50,20+1,40), thus not losing any items. It would be nice if this could be a possible solution, but if it is impossible then I guess you shouldn't cross the world border with any valueable items in your inventory.
Confirmed in 1.19.1
Also, because the description of the bug got generalized to all projectiles, I wanted to clarify that this bug allows players to get outside the world border by using an ender pearl.
This is especially annoying for some Mini-games that use the world border to limit the play area, because as it turns out, you only get damage from the world border, when you are 6+ blocks out. This little "gap" of 5 blocks gives players the ability to hide behind the world border without being able to get hit (If the other player doesn't have a Bow)

Cannot confirm.
But this is kinda intended, because it's planned to allow players to go outside of the world barrier, but they take (quickly) damage there.
