I've been transporting a TON of villagers on boats + leads (each boat has two villagers). I have a ton of villagers waiting in a field, they're all in boats, and every boat is full and has two villagers. I went away from that field, and when I go back, some villagers are able to escape from their boats, wandering around. This has happened multiple times on 1.17.30, but I've never encountered this bug on previous versions.
Within that field, there are no job sites or beds nearby, although sometimes I'll put my bed and sleep nearby. I always sleep during night/thunderstorm, so they should be safe. The boat itself is also intact and not destroyed, so I usually push them back into the boat if they start wandering around. This might be unrelated, but their trades and jobs have been locked, and they've been zombie cured 5x.
This glitch seems to happen when I slowly approach that field, with about 10% chance. As that area is being loaded, the villagers can somehow get out of their boats.
Most of the time I put villagers on boats, but this glitch might also occur on other mobs as well.
Update: Still a big issue in the latest version (1.18.2). I was out exploring in the overworld, and when I came back, my villagers are somehow getting out of their boats!
Steps to reproduce [by @unknown]:
Load the world
.
Enter the Nether portal (it is built nearby).
Exit the nether.
See how some of the horses got out of the boats.
Load the world
.
Teleport to coordinates 0 100 0.
Teleport to coordinates 218.04 78.12 10001.09.
See how some of the horses got out of the boats.
Observed results:
Mobs can get out of boats under some circumstances.
Expected results:
Mobs without the player's help should not leave the boats.

I made one of silents villager breeders where they are capped with slabs, two babies ended up behind the fences below and when they grew up, they swapped places with their parents and the parents dropped down instead by jumping out/ejected out of the boats.
This is in 1.17.40.6
Unfortunately ,this bug is also applicable for villagers in minecart
To recreate this bug just lower your render distance to least (8 or lower) and leave the area and load back very quickly .You will see that they have hopped out
This only happened to me when i have some non solid block inside head of the villager(like fence gates in my case)
so i would glad to see this bug get fixed and my villager trading hall is facing this problem
A easy fix that i use is to slowly render the chunks by simply walking into that area slowly instead of using elytra or nether portals
This happens randomly. However, this can happen when the player travels to the nether and back and when the player reloads the area with mobs in the boat.
I also found a few similar reports that confirm this)
I found a temporary reproduction of the problem. I also noticed that when the mobs "appear" after loading the area, they are slightly higher than the boat in the air.

[media]it turns out this report is a duplicate MCPE-141886
I have had the same experience with nether mobs. Trying to keep the number of magma cubes and endermen from spawning while building in a warped forest on the edge of a basalt delta.
Endermen will teleport in and out of boats, magma cubes will be caught in the boat and then randomly will be able to "glitch" out of the boat and start bouncing around
Can confirm, I've had dozens of people tell me their villagers have escaped boats. No idea how to reproduce, sadly.
