I was fighting a raid in MCBE and a vindicator dropped two iron axes
What I expected to happen was:
The vindicator would drop a emerald and maybe a iron axe
What actually happened was:
The vindicator dropped two iron axes
Steps to reproduce
Drink a Bad Omen V potion in a village
Kill some vindicators and eventually one of them will drop two iron axes

This is intentional, it's entirely possible for vindicators to drop both the axe they're wielding and an additional one. The odds of this occurring are increased by the looting enchantment level and the game's difficulty.
Vindicators during raids use an additional loot table, which also includes the chance for an axe to drop, so both the vanilla loot table and the raid loot table are stacked upon each other.
Correction: They don't use a separate "vanilla loot table" for the other axe in the traditional sense; instead, the axe is defined as equipment under vindicator_gear.json{}, so it drops the same way a zombie wearing armor would drop the piece after being killed.
Since I guess you could consider this a bug, removing the axe as a possible drop from a raid would probably be the easiest solution.
