Zombies don’t sink and drown like intended in the upcoming update. I think I have seen them sink and drown before but I may be mistaken. I’m not sure if this is a bug or something that has yet to be implemented. I did check and it dosen’t seem to have been reported. Please view the attached video for more information.
Usually I would have a “What happens” and “How to do” section of the report but this is such a minor thing that I feel it dosen’t need much deep explanation.
(Note that attached image is of it happening in a creative world. The Zombie texture is bugged with my texture pack so just ignore that, they are still regular Zombies.)
Edit: This bug will likely be fixed when Mojang fully implements Drowneds in the next update. Drowneds are still buggy and missing many features including this one.

Update: I have tested this and it still exists in 1.4. (Shockingly since this is the Update Aquatic.)
I, too, am experiencing this since my world upgraded to 1.4 and as of today with 1.4.1. Exploring new chunks to harvest coral and other items to bring back to my old parts I still have yet to encounter a single drowned after days of playing .
I had a zombie chase me off the land into the water and it didn't sink. It just bobbed on the surface above me until I pegged it with an arrow.
Also, Drowned are not spawning. I haven't found a single one, not even in shipwrecks or underwater ruins.
Update: Still happens in the recent 1.2.16 update. I have added that version and made some text fixes. Later I may update the text with more information as I gather it.
