The bug
The exit portal in the end generates at the highest block at 0 0 after opening a pre 1.9 world in 1.9 or newer versions. This can cause the portal to be incomplete. Additionally you might end up with end crystals from old end pillars inside it.

Confirmed for 1.13.1.
I found out that exit portals could also naturally generate too low in extremely rare cases. To reproduce that, use the seed -953538683905638291, go to the end, and teleport to 3 19 0.
Confirmed for 19w14a
Confirmed for 19w14b
Confirmed for 1.14 Pre-Release 1
Confirmed for 1.14 and 1.14.1 Pre-Release 1
Still in 1.15 Pre Release 1; see MC-166199
in 1.20.4 and 23w51a.
Maybe this issue could be fixed by generating the exit portal at a specific height (y1 or above) when there's no solid block at (0,0).
In 1.21-pre2.
Can confirm in 1.21
Still in 24w35a.
By looking at the level.dat you can see in those seeds the end portal is placed at Y -1 despite the end ending at Y0

The simple solution would be forbidding the y value for ExitPortalLocation from being lower than 1 (or better, bedrock_level +1 because of custom worlds)
Also most importantly all affected worlds from before the fix would need to have ExitPortalLocation datafixed to Y1

Confirmed for
15w47c The screenshot added shows the portal just below y=256 as in 1.8 a stone tower was placed that high.
