stat.damageTaken bug

What I expected to happen was...:
I applied resistance to myself so I wouldnt receive any stat.damageTaken points from when I jumped off a small and low bridge.

What actually happened was...:
Despite having the resistance and not taking any damage. I still received points in my stat.damageTaken objective I had set up.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /scoreboard objectives add RandomName stat.damageTaken
2. /effect @p 11 1000 2
3. Jump off small cliff, you wont take damage. But will still receive points in stat.damageTaken as I said earlier.

P.S. Thanks for helping mojang with the bug reports.
