The Bug
When you stare at endermen, instead of stopping, staring, and then attacking you only when you look away, they immediately charge at you.
Expected behavior
When looking at an enderman it would wait until I looked away to attack.
How to reproduce
Spawn a enderman and stare at it to anger it
The enderman will charge at you instead of engaging in the original "staring contest" behavior

Now that Endermen correctly have a delay before becoming hostile after looking at them (as of the 1.21.60.25 Preview), this parity issue should be reconsidered as it still affects the 1.21.51 Hotfix and the 1.21.60.25 Preview. The fix of MCPE-23544 makes this issue much easier to reproduce and much more noticeable.
Eckosoldier can be seen unintentionally reproducing this bug in the most recent Preview here.
