Still in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 1 and 1.14.2 Pre-Release 2
Can confirm in 21w05b.
Can confirm in 1.17.1. Here is an alternate method of reproducing this issue:
Steps to Reproduce:
Can confirm in 1.18.2 and 22w18a.
Feature perhaps, you don't even kill the Creeper, just igniting it as TNT.
In a word, ignite =/= kill.
Possibly is, seeing as it doesn't do a death animation, but you'll need a Mojang source saying so.
Can confirm in 1.19.
Can confirm in 1.19.2.
Can confirm in 24w46a.
