Guidelines Read: Yes

 Description   

Players are able to place water and lava, despite the fact that the block should be out of reach and has no gray box like when it's targeted. Also, the PlayerInteractEvent is called but PlayerInteractEvent#getAction() returns Action.RIGHT_CLICKED_AIR, although the expected result would be Action.RIGHT_CLICKED_BLOCK. This is not normal Minecraft Vanilla behavior.

That's still unexpected API behavior and can cause plugins who trust that this event will always be called for all block interactions to fail.

The PlayerBucketEmptyEvent gets called anyway.

I also tested this in singleplayer, but in creative mode. You are right, this looks like a Minecraft bug. Spigot should still fix it because this unexpected behavior can cause a lot of problems.

Also applies to other interactable items, like for example spawn eggs.
Edit: Nevermind, this does not apply in the same way to spawn eggs (mob is not spawned, whereas water is placed). I do however get both a RIGHT_CLICK_AIR and a LEFT_CLICK_AIR (for the hand swing animation) in the spawn egg case, whereas I do not get this additional LEFT_CLICK_AIR event when right clicking into AIR regulary with the spawn egg (only when targetting a block slightly outside the interaction range). But this might indicate some vanilla oddity here.

Also, this behavior (for both the water bucket and the spawn egg) can be observed in survival mode, but not in creative mode.

Edit: Actually, I just tested this in single player and I am able to reproduce this behavior (water placement) there. So this might be a vanilla issue.
