Recently planted chorus flowers that have not grown yet seem to block mobs' pathfinding. For example, if a chorus fruit is directly between a player and a zombie, the zombie will stand at the chorus fruit until the player moves to an angle at which the zombie walks in a different direction. This seems to affect any mob that will chase players e.g. creepers, zombies, zombie pigmen, etc. It also appears to affect baby zombies and baby zombie pigmen. When the plant grows, mobs behind it will resume pathfinding as normal.

To reproduce, try setting a chorus flower on top of a block of end stone. Then, try to get a zombie (or spawn one in) and have it stand on the side opposite of you. Make sure you're in survival mode and watch as the zombie can't get past the chorus flower. Make sure you do this before the plant grows.
Further testing has shown that most mobs that don't fly or have ranged attacks are affected by this glitch. Every hostile mob that uses melee attacks is affected, except for slimes and magma cubes of every size. Zombie pigmen and angry wolves can't pass the flowers, but spiders/cave spiders and endermen are able to climb/walk over them. No passive mobs were able to pass the flowers when attracted to food players were holding. Ocelots and villagers were unable to jump over them when they were running away from players and zombies, respectively. Interestingly, killer bunnies weren't able to jump over, but they were able to attack through the flowers, which may be a glitch in itself. I didn't test skeletons, ghasts, blazes, bats, witches, guardians, shulkers, squids, or horses because they were all difficult/impossible to test with the method I was using of having them try to walk to the player. If I missed any mobs let me know, and I will do even further testing.
Even further testing has shown that skeletons, wither skeletons, and witches aren't able to pass the flowers either. I am still not able to test iron golems, snow golems, ghasts, withers, ender dragons, squids, horses, blazes, guardians, or shulkers.
