MC-5312Thorns not working against some monsters
The thorns does not work against some monsters such as slimes. This has been reported in MC-4609 and MC-4619 but it is still bugged (at least for me).
To verify this, I manually created a level 127 Thorns enchantment and tried it against different mobs. Zombies, Skeletons, Zombie Pigmen and Spiders instantly died. They were instantly killed on first contact, none of the them required a second time for the Thorns enchantment to work.
However, the slimes never got hurt once even though I have spawned around 64 Large Slimes and went around getting attacked by them for 5 minutes or so, with the same enchantment level.
The enchantment level 127 was obtained using a NBT file editor. A level 3 Thorns enchantment (maximum level obtainable without editors) still does not damage slimes.
Update: (Thanks to Mike B for the comprehensive coverage)
Mobs affected: Zombies, Cave Spiders, Spiders, Skeleton, Wither Skeletons, Zombie Pigmen, Endermen and Silverfish.
Not affected: Wither Boss, Enderdragon, Magma Cube, Slimes, Witch, Wild Angry Wolf, Creeper, Blaze and possibly Iron Golem. (Creeper should not be affected because they're dead after they attacked)

Maybe intended ? Ever tried to stab a jello ?
By that logic arrows shouldn't work. Or punching. Definitely sounds like a bug to me.
Quite true...
Well, Dinnerbone said in one of his tweets that Thorns should work against everything...
https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/279275058634031104
I think this must be solved. I had a level 100 Thorns on a flatworld also and it didn't affect slimes.
Certainly confirmed.
This still occurs in snapshot 13w03a. I used a level III thorns enchantment on all diamond armor on all possible hostile mobs except I couldn't get the Iron Golem to attack me from upsetting villagers, thought that was a feature.
Mobs affected: Zombies, Cave Spiders, Spiders, Skeleton (from projectiles?), Wither Skeletons, Zombie Pigmen, Endermen, and Silverfish.
Not affected: Wither Boss, Enderdragon, Magma Cube, Slimes, Witch, Wild Angry Wolf, Creeper, and Blaze (not really affected unless you stand near them but I think that was them taking damage from their own attack).

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Creepers shouldn't be affected by Thorns, as they self-destruct to kill you.
And I don't know if Witches should be affected by Thorns as they attack with splash potions. Maybe Witches could be affected when he uses a splash potion of instant damage, but I don't know.
For now, I'm just using Dinnerbone's tweet that the thorns work on everything. The link to his tweet was in a previous comment.
i think the blazes are having this glitch because of them having 2 types of attacks ranged and touching maybe that they arent adapted to thorns?
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w11b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Fixed, with the caveat that Witches' thrown potions do not cause Thorns splashback, as it is the potion causing the damage, not the Witch itself.
