This is vanilla behavior.
Tested against the vanilla minecraft server version 1.12 using variously stacked numbers of hoppers.

Well, then sorry for bothering. Never thought that it would be vanilla behavior that vertically stacked hoppers transfer two items at once. Weird stuff.

It is weird, I thought it was a bug when I initially glanced through.
Mojang may very well consider this a bug, I certainly would, but we can't fix it without breaking hopper behavior.
Thanks for the report though 👍

From testing this is due to the top hopper pushing items into the one below, while at the same time the bottom hopper pulls items out of the hopper above it. You can disable one of them using redstone to notice this. The official bug for this issue has been marked Works As Intended. https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-8361

Alright, thank you for the follow up. Still odd ¯_(ツ)_/¯
