The bug

Withers will not fly above a player and use its middle head to attack unless a player hits it first in survival mode. The other two heads, however, will fire at the player.

When the wither was introduced in version 1.4.2, it was hostile towards players without any intervention.

To reproduce

Spawn a Wither.
Notice the two small heads are firing at you, but the Wither itself is not flying above you or using its main head.
Punch the Wither and notice it is now attacking as it normally would.
