[MC-58562] Elder Guardians gone after switching to peaceful and back

After switching from normal to peaceful and back while being near an ocean dungeon, Elder Guardians seem not to spawn again in that dungeon.

I didn't manage to kill any Elder Guardians before turning to peaceful.

Guardians count as hostile mobs, rosetti guardians are the same entity as the normal guardians.

... if Elder Guardians would respawn, you've had a unlimited sponge farm...

Well that's a really sorry excuse.

Golems don't disappear when one switches to peaceful after being attacked by the player, or, when the player's reputation is low enough.

If I want unlimited sponge I could just switch to creative and back!

How hard could it be to have a setting in the chunk that would be set when the Elder is killed by the player?

IF ELDER KILLED BY PLAYER = 0 THEN ELDER = 1.

Otherwise EXPECTED behavior would be the Elders, like other mobs, disappear and then reappear when switching back to non-peaceful mode.

Since it isn't a boss then it should respawn.

The first part of my comment was meant to be "If the elder guardian would respawn all the time in survival..."
