When you are taking damage while having the absorption effect active (through golden apples or other means) the damage is applied to your main health rather than to the absorption health like what should happen.

What I expected to happen was...:
The absorption hearts to take the damage rather than my regular health.
What actually happened was...:
I took damage while my absorption hearts were still active. This did end up killing me while the absorption effect was still active.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Eat Golden Apple
2. Take Damage

I am guessing this isn't a regular occurrence. It may possibly have something to do with connection to the server as well like it may have registered me eating the apple on my end but the server did not register it.

I also have not tested to see if this happens in the snapshots.
