Had an interesting encounter that sheds light onto the problem. Unfortunately I was slain so I could not produce a crash file of the situation.
In short, the problem seems to be that at least from the moment of entering the boat on, the boat is not located where it's image and the point of view of the user suggest it to be.
Boats nearly always act weird for me, as descibed in MC-44750. But I never had a fight before on the water. This time I was attacked by a zombie while paddling around. First I shot arrows, but from the moment they left my bow they seemed to disappear. Then suddenly I was target of the zombie's fist storm, although it seemed to be about ten-ish blocks away in front of me, and facing at an other direction.
I tend to place my boats some blocks away when entering, because there is so much trouble near land. (Now I understand this seems to be because the boat is not where it seems to be, so it breaks because of flat water at it's true location). I would say the distance between me and the boat while entering was about the same as the distance of me in the boat and the invisible location at the encounter. Also the direction is corresponding: when entering the boat I had placed it in northern-to-east direction, when I was attacked, the true location (where the zombie attacked me) was in southern-to-west direction from the location the boat and my point of view seemed to be.

This happened with version 1.7.10.
