 Description   

Zombie pigmen used to help each other, as described in the wiki, however they no longer seem to do so. Hitting one doesn't always provoke others nearby, however occasionally one or two react to player's actions.

I think this started in 0.16, but I can't be sure because 0.16 was mostly about ghasts being everywhere, which made this harder to confirm.

I can still reproduce, this needs to be reopened.

This isn't a bug.

I've experimented with this further, and I think I understand what is going on now. The wiki states:

Zombie pigmen are not initially hostile, but all zombie pigmen within a 67×67×21 to 111×111×21 area _centered on the attacked pigman_ will become aggressive and converge on the player if any individual is attacked, unless the pigman attacked is killed in one hit.

This isn't what happens in MCPE. The range seems to be about 32x32, instead of minimum 67x67, and is centered around the player, instead of the attacked pigman. Attached screenshot shows my zombie pigman killing area, I've taken this screenshot immediately after killing one (in multiple hits, see the stone sword), but the pigman in the screenshot does not react. It is about 18-20 blocks away from me. I've also verified that when I attack zombie pigmen over 16 blocks away with a bow, the hit pigman will not become hostile, however, a pigman closer to me than 16 blocks will. The numbers may be off a block or two.

Lol, there's another pigman behind the front one

Well, I disagree because they do chase you when they are provoked by a player... Maybe just maybe, when you provoke/hit on pigman, maybe others was just far enough to not get your attention/presence
