      When locating a structure, the Y axis remains constant. That means when you click the coordinates given to issue a /tp command, you are sometimes teleported inside of blocks.

      How to replicate

      1. Generate a new world using the seed 'desert'
      2. Type /locate Desert_Pyramid (it should give you one at 1872, ~, -160)
      3. Click the coordinates
      4. Observe that you have teleported inside of a block at level 63

      It would make sense for the teleport to take your Y level into consideration and /tp you to the highest block at the coordinates (however my guess is that it can't do that because the chunk is yet to be rendered.)

      Note to moderators: This bug may get closed as similar ones have been reported and closed before, but consider that while it may be considered "Expected behaviour" to teleport you and leave your Y level constant, surely it wasn't considered expected behaviour to teleport a player inside of a block. I think an earlier issue relating to Y=0 coordinates was "fixed" by preserving the player's Y level, but this has introduced new problems such as the above.

       

      (If you try this with seed 6825116916374065574, and locate Desert_Pyramid, you'll get teleported into a block and fall directly into laval! Surely not intended.)
