I've been experiencing the same. Typically when I experience something which could be attributed to latency I look to the replay, as it replays raw packet data from the server, and thus should be an unbiased representation of what occurred after the effects of latency.
What's unusual is every replay where this happens the person performing the melee gets the confirmation sound, while the person getting hit does not.
In the clip below my last heavy melee ends early due to contact with the Grey Talon; had the contact not occurred the forward momentum of the punch would've caused it to follow through and again make contact with the Grey Talon as they began to dash away. I believe this is legitimately a bug and not a latency issue.

Another instance of this was (later) posted on a separate thread: Abrams' punch doesn't register or has NO damage.
I've reviewed the first replay and it exhibits the same behavior; melee audio for the aggressor (Abrams) but not for the defender (Pocket).

Yeah been experiencing this a couple of times lately, even point blank after a parry, i've had a Bebop just not take dmg from my heavy melee attack.
Got same issue in several games.

This can consistenly happen when someone dashes away from the opponent, try in the hero sandbox mode with the melee dummy. You will dodge the punch outright point blank.

I experience the opposite of this with counter parry

Ya basically whatever changes they made to melee last patch, makes it as if the hero has iframes the moment they hit spacebar.

Hopefully this issue is now fixed! I'm away for the next week or so and won't be able to play. Please keep an eye out and post any further instances of the issue here!

Dunno if it actually addresses this issue. It seems to address the random cases where you'd hear punches randomly on the map, with nothing actually happening, from the way i'm reading it. Rather than this fixing cases of someone not getting damaged.
The issue wasn't with audio - it was with characters very clearly being hit but not taking damage.

Here's a quote from one of my responses above:
There was absolutely an issue with audio when there was a melee which failed at the extremes of a melee's reach.
"damage audio playing despite no damage dealt" doesn't sound like they're discussing the phantom melee noises in which no punch existed at all. Besides I'm not sure I've actually heard the phantom melee in the past few days; I think it may have been fixed in a minor patch.
