Do note, I'm not talking about Blue Ice here.
Steps to repdoduce
Place a water source block in a cold biome,
let it turn into ice,
make a 4x4x4 box around the ice block and yourself with no windows or openings (so that it should be extremely dark in the box), and surprise!
Expected result
The room would be dark when enclosed.
Actual result
Free sun light! For some reason the ice block keeps the inside of the box from getting dark.
Break the ice block to confirm that there is light coming from it, and then all youll see is the darkness you should have saw to begin with.

I can no longer reproduce this. My guess is that it was fixed along with the change to how water freezes in 1.16.0.61 beta. See MCPE-75719.
Confirmed in 1.14.60 Windows 10 PC. This only occurs when water sources freeze naturally in a cold biome or on the top of a mountain. It does not occur when making frosted ice with frost walker boots.
