This just happened to me with diamond armor with fire resistance IV on both the chestplate and pants. I'm blown away that this was opened last year and is still outstanding.
This portal runs along the Z-axis. -369 and -370 are both portal blocks, while >= -368 are simply obsidian. Using a chunk calculator, I see that this is clearly a chunk border. Is this expected behavior along a chunk border?
It does not. My server owner downloaded the realm locally, broke the portal, relit it, and upon coming back out of the nether, the portal was still intact.
EDIT: server owner has confirmed that the portal IS still breaking as detailed in my post in an offline world.
To answer your question related to the portal: No, it does not. When the portal is "broken", I can stand on the unlit obsidian and it acts exactly as unlit obsidian; no particles, no teleporting to the nether. After breaking and re-lighting the portal, it does not matter which block is "lit", the result is the same–upon re-entering the overworld, the portal is in it's "broken" state where only the two blocks to the left are lit, and the others (in a separate chunk) are not.
Interestingly, I never return to the overworld standing on one of the actual portal blocks, but, rather, always on a normal obsidian block.
I'd like to add some additional commentary to this in the event that it's helpful... The overworld portal runs along the Z-axis, intersecting 2 chunks; the chunk border being directly between the lit and unlit obsidian blocks. In the nether, the portal runs along the X-axis not intersecting chunks in any way.
The northern most block on the bottom platform is located @ 950, 67, -370. After relighting, entering the nether, and reentering the overworld (thus breaking it again) I spawned on block 950, 67, -364.
This issue affects the usage of the portal. Only the obsidian that appear as portal blocks can be utilized—the standard obsidian blocks do not act as portal blocks when attempting to enter the nether.

This issue exists as outlined here on an iPad Air. Please advise on whether the fix will relate to this device as a well.

Thanks for redirecting to the proper team.

Hope that helps in some way.
