Endermen do a weird half-teleport and return to the same location when they take damage

Endermen do a weird half-teleport any time they take damage, where they warp somewhere for a microsecond, and then instantly return back to the same location where they took damage at.

How to reproduce:

Make the enderman take damage by any means (other than water): punching, cactuses, magma block, campfire, iron golems, falling anvil, fall damage, etc.

Best tested in night time, as they don't do the random teleportation they do at daytime.
