[MC-71937] Certain zombies spawned on hard difficulty can break down doors on easy/normal difficulty

To reproduce: In hard difficulty, find a zombie which can break down doors. Switch to easy or normal mode, put a villager behind a wooden door and watch the zombie break down the door.

Alternatively, such a zombie can be summoned using

/summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {CanBreakDoors:1b}

According to Jeb, zombies should only be able to do this on hard difficulty: https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/167274722072084480

what part is a bug? Zombies can break doors on normal or hard. that's intended. Pointing to a 2 year old twitter post doesn't make it less so.
If it did make a deifference, then we'd all be flying around on red dragons by now.

>Zombies can break doors on normal or hard.

Only zombies spawned on hard difficulty can have the ability to break down doors.

>that's intended.

Do you have a source for that claim? This also happens on easy difficulty, anyway.
