Seems like whips have the ability to hit some enemies in walls.
Every time I've seen this, it's been with an enemy that can go through walls to begin with, so it's probably a combination of the whip and the enemy AI.

So far I have seen this occur with:
Cursed Skulls
Wraiths
Floaty Gross (video included)
Ghosts
Enchanted Sword (Enemy)

(could not use the forums upload feature, so here's an unlisted video instead)

Sounds normal, ordinary melee weapons can do that too. It might a little weird with whips since they have a longer reach, but I always assumed it was intended. Like if there's a wraith about to pop out of the wall next to you, it only seems fair that you can hit it with your sword before it comes out and gets you.
 
Yes, if a weapon can function through blocks (like spears) then enemies that normally go through blocks can be hit by it through blocks. That's intentional.
