I repaired and activated a ruined portal near my base(Survival mode, normal difficulty, world created on 1.17.20.23 beta) .
When I passed through, I was not taken to a portal within a nether fortress, but rather a generated portal within a lava flow.
This led to two problems, the trivial one was being stuck(solved by taking stone through and bridging over the lava), and the main one being that whenever I enter the Nether, I take damage from being lit on fire. This can't be mitigated, because it happens while the nether loads (you can hear your character taking damage even on the loading screen).
I don't know how one can reproduce this consistently - I'll get the seed and post it, along with coordinates of the nether portals.
The lava flow is very shallow, so the placement might just be phenomenally bad luck(the portal being generated on solid ground when the nether was initially generated, with the lava flowing around it a few ticks later).
Taking hits while loading is definitely a bug though.

Unsure if this is related, but I experienced similar:
While mapping a Nether Portal to an overworld portal, I created a portal (in the Nether) over a lava ocean. I started by creating a platform (replacing lava with Nether Brick Blocks) and put the base of the Nether portal in that base level. Every time I entered the portal, I took fire damage. I corrected for by raising the portal one block.
I am curious if your lava-flow is a red-herring and there may be lava directly below the obsidian in your Nether portal. (which is probably still a bug to take damage from it).
The obsidian base of the portal in the nether is immersed in lava. I'm relatively certain that the flow is very shallow, as I can see blocks of netherrack with only the surfaces exposed on the lava surface towards the near bank.
In your workaround, when you say you raised the portal, you mean the one in the nether, right?
5 hearts is about what I lose during loading too. I hope your trick works , because as soon as I leave the portal the piglins on the near bank start sniping at me before I have time to heal up.
Tip much appreciated, will get back to you.
