Not sure if it's randomly selected which Vindicators just open them and which slowly break them with axes
I can't either because the Vindicators only open doors, and don't even break them

Clones of MC-140046. Yes, the issue can still be reproduced.
When vindicators decide to break down doors instead of opening them, they do not visually break down a village door as they do not raise their axes (attacking animation).

Illagers can't destroy doors at all, according to
MC-139836.Yellow01, only vindicators can break doors.
Lol, I forgot to read in the comments that vindicators break doors on hard mode.
I can't seem to reproduce this issue.
