Zombies will try to get to villagers that are floating far above them, and will end up pacing back and forth under the villager to try to get to it.
They will even ignore nearby Villagers to try and reach it if their pathfinding found the floating villager first.
Edit: Issue used to be about floating villages, but after more testing, seems to be mostly about the villagers in the houses, rather than the house itself.

Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.

I am still seeing this behavior in 20w06a. Newly spawned zombies directly walk under the house in which a villager is.
Thank you for your report!

Somewhat fixed in 15w51a-b, the Zombies try to get to the floating house at first, but then seem to lose interest after a bit of time. Pathfinding still sees the house.
