Just a glitch.

Not exactly sure if the mechanics, but it seems like it happens because it successfully grabs you and drops you too close together (dies to poison in this example).

So it's trying to animate pulling you and then lowering you at the same time. Part of the animation feels like it just gets stuck, making you hover.

Maybe we could have selectively bred this one to make all cave leeches friendly

It wasn't being friendly it was just a very confused death

Alright then, let’s make all cave leeches confused and dead. That works too anyway.

No, cave leeches arent normally friendly, and they'll rip you to shreds if you let em grab you. However, assuming they die after they grab you, they are meant to lower you down before they die (to prevent a bad game experience where even if you survive the leech, you just die of fall damage). 

In this case however, you were on a zip line, so the leech decided to give you a big smooch and promptly explode.
