Noticed this at an Enderman farm in survival. I'm not sure if it is an intended feature, but if an Enderman is unable to teleport away from an incoming arrow, then the arrow reverses direction.

Hmm... The enderman seems to disappear* when I shoot it. The arrow goes "through" the enderman. May require more testing.
Environment: 16w02a. Generated a superflat world with ground at y=~64; enderman was spawned on a lone block at y=250, and was shot.
*disappear = does not appear in "/say @e"
Confirmed in 1.8.4.
