The "intended behavior" is a bug and what is broken. If the people at mojang can not understand the intended behavior of infinity than they need to reread what the enchantment does. Because they have just made the other arrows utterly pointless
" Past behavior would suggest either that the Infinity bow would only fire normal arrows, or that it would still consume tipped arrows, and only fire normal arrows for free."
this is incorrect, there has only ever been normal arrows before 1.9 therefore what you say is wrong, I don't know how you managed to get a infinity 1 since there is no such enchantment.
@ Mojang Grum(Erik Broes) with all due respect sir that is bull shit, infinity is intended to allow you to shoot infinite arrows which means ALL ARROWS. disallowing infinity to work on all arrows makes the new arrows pointless to use.
Mustek no it does not, because arrows of healing don't really work. I have tried them and they don't heal as you would expect them too. a light tap does 1/2 heart when you would expect that it would heal 3 and 1/2 heart.
with the exception of arrows of regeneration none of the other arrows are free to use, all others will hurt you which limits the amount of time and situations when you can use them for prolonged periods of time. and most lingering potions don't stay active long enough for you to get stacks and stacks of arrows so my point still stands that this it was wrong to break infinity and it needs to be fixed.
This is still a snapshot, it is unstable so using arrows of speed crashing the game is a mute point. As soon as the 1.9 is out as stable they would not crash the game. And where is the proof of arrows of speed crashing a game?
but you just said that it crashed the game so which is it? of course the other effects are extremely useful but they still come at a price. sooner or latter you will run out of food and you won't be able to use the tipped arrows on yourself.
I had notice but it is okay my best friend was the same and she still has trouble sometimes. that is correct but again that is kind of the point of having arrows with potion effects. I could see an issue if one arrow of water breathing gave you 8m of water breathing but it does not. using normal potions for the effects is better than having to hit yourself often to keep the effect going. long term you are better off using the potions and leaving the arrows as a just in case thing.
this has been a problem since 1.9 naturally generated light sources don't light up, so while you may have lava or torches or what not they will produce zero light unless you set a down a light source of your own. even placing torches sometimes has a similar effect where it does not produce the correct amount of light. cases in point https://postimg.org/gallery/2awqsmxh2/
I am kind of surprised that this bug has lasted this long without being noticed.

it seems that Noe has a truly naive understanding of the enchantment infinity and thanks to him we have a broken enchantment

It should be set back to how it is suppose to be or remove the new arrows. because otherwise the enchantment is broken the arrows are pointless

why the heck is this as intended?
