Endermen immediately start moving after being looked at instead of freezing and staring back at you

The Bug

When you stare at endermen, instead of stopping, staring, and then attacking you only when you look away, they immediately charge at you. I have seen this in the 1.8 snapshots and all versions after it.

Expected behavior

When looking at an enderman it would wait until I looked away to attack.

How to reproduce

  1. In 1.8 and up, spawn a enderman and stare at it to anger it
  2. The enderman will charge at you instead of engaging in the original "staring contest" behavior
