Certain mobs continue to attack the player in peaceful difficulty if they had targeted the player before switching to peaceful difficulty. As of beta 1.16.100.54 this applies to Iron Golems, Evokers, Shulkers and Zoglins.
Steps to reproduce
Spawn or find one of the mobs listed above. For Iron Golems they must be village-generated or spawned with a command.
In easy/normal/hard difficulty, get the mob to target you.
Switch to peaceful.
Expected result
The mob does not attack.
Actual result
The mob attacks you repeatedly.

Confirmed with Zoglins as well; removed Phantoms and Ghasts as they now despawn in Peaceful when in proximity (and phantoms that did not despawn as described in MCPE-55270 do not attack the player when returning).
This works also with shulkers and Llamas (It is hard to repruduce it with Llamas)
I did also find a vindicator in peaceful.
With bees, they stop being angry and attacking when you switch to peaceful, but if you had angered them before switching to peaceful and then switch back to easy/normal/hard, they will go back to being angry.
