This is also happening on my BDS instance, Ubuntu Server 18.04
This happens to me on Android as well.
Not sure if it's related or a separate issue, but villagers just sit in water and drown instead of swimming with 1.9. In single player the vibrate up slowly (way slower than they used to swim) but on my server they just sit there and die.
This also started happening on my dedicated server. Version 1.14.32, Ubuntu server x64
