Sometimes: when broken, the torch disappears but the light source stays. However, the light level is lowers. When a torch is placed back on the same spot, the glitch will always happen after breaking the torch again. If a block is placed or the block next to it is destroyed, the light goes away.
This is was recreated several times, even after exiting the game and coming back.

AFTER TESTING: OUTDATED INFO
To recreate the glitch:
Have an end gateway
Cover it up in a box of blocks
Place a light source (not a full block) outside
Remove the wall so that the gateway is possible to see
Break the light source
It should have done the glitch
*note: you can switch the "breaking the light source" step and the "placing the light source" and it will work too.
Still an issue. What happens is that when you break a torch underground the game updates the light based on the current skylight level as if it were on the surface. See MCPE-155808 for steps to reproduce.
