MC-74490Sapling grows into a tree while the player is standing directly on it and kills the player.
If a sapling grows into a tree while the player is standing directly on it, the player will become trapped in the tree and begin suffocating. Exiting and re-entering the game before death spawns the player back inside the tree trunk, eventually killing the player.

Trees also grow into entities, plant growth only has block checks, not entity checks.
Trees are intended (MC-74490) So this harmless one is as well, no doubt about it.

Trees growing (or being bonemealed) into players is seen as Working as Intended behavior, as backed up by these issues: MC-137872 (bamboo), MC-74490 (tree logs), MC-85741 chorus plant, and MC-254240 (mangrove roots). The difference in behavior with the sapling sometimes pushing you downward vs not may be valid, but based off the previously listed issues it's not likely.
Other than that, the described behavior of even /tp not working for you to get out of the blocks is strange. Could you please elaborate on that more? As said in my last comment, a video would certainly be helpful, but additionally some more clear steps to consistently reproduce the issue would be great. The issue is already confirmed, but I feel as though there's still some missing information.
This is WAI per MC-74490
Works as intended.
