I have a diamond sword enchanted with:
Looting III
Unbreaking III
Sharpness IV
Knockback II
When attacking a naturally spawned Iron Golem, the Iron Golem is not knocked back.
The Golem is taking the damage, only the knockback effect is affected.
Notes:
I've tested on a Zombie in the same world, the Zombie takes the knockback correctly, so seems Golem specific rather than sword specific.
I've not tested Snow Golems.
For completeness, the sword has also been named "Nemesis".

@unknown This is not a bug, it is working as intended, the same as the Java version now (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Iron_Golem#Being_attacked)
Here's the changelog: http://pocketbeta.minecraft.net/2016/11/changelog-for-10-beta-build-2-aka-01702.html
Iron golems now have full knockback resistance.
Apologies! when you resolved this WAI I went looking for the release notes and saw the following..
"Iron golems now have full knockback resistance."
Soz for wasting both our time 🙂
