When breaking a block that has an arrow stuck in it, such as an arrow from a Skeleton, you take damage.

Does what GoldenHelmet said explain what you were experiencing?
If not, and this is still an issue in the latest release, please attach a video of this occurring.
Reopening as this should not have been set to Awaiting Response. The issue is obvious and no video is needed.
Is this still an issues in latest release, I was unable to reproduce this issue but You can attach your video to show reproduce.
The arrow hits you when it falls off of the block. Arrows will always damage the first entity that they hit while moving, regardless of whether they had previously lodged in a block. It's the same for fireballs and wither skulls deflected by the player or slime blocks. This behavior is the basis of "rail gun" builds that use TNT to accelerate arrows that have been shot into a holding block by dispenser or player.
