Some, not all, Iron Golems seem to spawn inside farmland blocks and do not move from that location. I have not seen one spawn, only see them standing in the farmland blocks.
I did see the same bugs entered, but listed as resolved a year or more ago.

Confirmed for Windows 10 beta 1.11.0.7
Iron Golems also spawn inside path blocks.

I've also noticed they'll spawn in glass if there's a solid block below the glass.

It does it for cats too but you can’t see them under the grass path... you just here them keep meowing until you find them under the grass path...

They seem to ignore all the rules of spawning now. On glass, half slabs, in glass on top of a lower half slab below ground level (2 blocks below and in water once), on, or through beds, they have always spawned the block below farm land. Very, very annoying and I gave up trying to make an iron farm on 1.11

I’m also having this issue on my realm.

Iron golems also spawn inside regular grass blocks, not just grass paths. I'm using 1.11.1.
This is difficult to reproduce; most golems in this creative-mode game I'm playing spawn normally on top of the ground but occasionally they spawn partly in the ground (even underwater):

And here's another one. In this picture, the golem spawned in a house that was deliberately built with an oak slab floor and ceiling, with 2 blocks of vertical air space. The golem spawned with its feet inside the bed, standing on a slab. This violates 2 previous rules: that an iron golem needs a vertical space of 3 transparent blocks, and that iron golems don't spawn on slabs. These were top slabs, though, but I thought golems don't spawn on any slab.
[media]In this same house I've also seen them spawn buried in the ground like the other pictures, but with the head and shoulders sticking out of a slab. See my related ticket MCPE-46407.
Experimentally I tried removing the underground blocks on which the golems were spawning, hollowing out a space 3 blocks deep. After that, no iron golems spawned at all (I left the game running all night).

Confirmed for Bedrock Edition 1.12.0. Happened in one of my Creative worlds earlier today.

This is happening on Xbox One (1.12.0) too. Almost all the time an Iron Golem spawns with his feet trapped on the floor, and when I kill them, their loot is below the ground (rarely on the surface).

So, is this resolved now? The Bedrock 1.13.0 page on the Minecraft Wiki says "Village mobs (such as iron golems and cats) can no longer spawn inside of blocks. (MCPE-44442, MCPE-41886)" (citing this ticket).
If this is resolved, can iron golems spawn on top of slabs? Pre-1.11, I believe they couldn't spawn on top of any slab, top or bottom.

As far as I know, this was fixed in 1.13.0 (it was listed as fixed in the change log), but it's not very easy to verify (especially for cats, since the fit entirely within the block so you can't see them). So if anybody is still having this issue, comment below and I'll reopen the ticket.
