Basically it seems as though the eyes are only targeting the "original three" strongholds in first ring. Created world (seed: 5428015623262890092), teleported out to 27000,~,4000 (which seems like it would be just outside the outer most ring of strongholds) and attempted to located one in this ring with the eyes.
They only ever targeted "roughly" the origin of the map, I suspect because they were targeting one of the 3 in the first ring near the origin.
After several uses, i resorted to using the eye, then teleporting ~1000 blocks toward the origin and re-used each time. I never once saw the eye switch directions and point at anything other than back toward the origin. I would expect that it would point away from the origin at some point within that outer most ring. But instead I repeated this process until I was led back to roughly the origin, and then was able to locate a stronghold at -692,34,577. Interestingly enough, UNDER A MOOSHROOM ISLAND! (I thought that was cool).
[OP has removed this whole bit about the JIRA search function. It, and it alone, was a joke.]

@unknown,
BTW: Side note about searching for open tickets for bugs, as I'm sure this has already been identified and a ticket is already open. The search function on this site could use some work. I should be able to search a short key phrase like "eye of ender" for this and filter for affected versions... but the filter function that exists is non-intuitive. I've never been able to get it to work right. I always get either no results, or hundreds of old and/or unrelated issues to what I'm searching for. Can I open a ticket for that?? or has that already been done??
Jira is not mojang product and unrelated to the minecraft project, so better not
Obviously that was a joke...

What ? The Meta-ticket about the JIRA search function or that Eyes of Ender not targeting any of the new strongholds ?
I have the exact same problem started at 27000,~, 3700. ended up trowing pearls until I came around 10.000 ~, 2500 it just keep pointing to the 3 origin of the map.
So confirmed that Eyes of Ender not targeting any of the new strongholds, or that it is not generating them properly
Your confirmation is useless without knowing the version you confirmed it on 😞
Tested in both 15w43C and in 15w45a. both same result
So basically I wanted to confirm this bug in 154w50a. But as it turn out.
I found a end portal 11K away from 0.0. that's a lot closer than the one that the pearls pointed me to in 15w45a.
Also wiki says that in 1.8 strongholds are between 640 and 1152 blocks from the origin (0,0,0)
That must mean that this bug is (partly at least) solved. And I'm glad to conclude that

Don't create a ticket for that. Here's some tips to narrow your search when reporting new bugs: Sort by creation date, exclude issues that aren't open or reopened and limit the project to MC.
