In certain cases, the world will fail to render, giving a so called "x-ray" effect - the player can see straight through to what's below. I've found a 100% repro case for this:
1. Create a new world with the default world settings and the seed "pre1".
2. Run this command (or go to the rough location of the coordinates indicated): /tp -275 66 253 81 27
Result:
X-Ray effect. See attached image.
Expected:
Player sees the flat dirt surface. See second attached image, taken closer to the wall.
Other info we've gathered by experimentation (thanks to Panda):
The glitch happens right at a chunk border.
You need to face relativly low. From the TP command lower than -34.3. The higher you go the lower you need to face.
If you run /setblock -288 63 271 minecraft:dirt, the bug disappears.
