When attempting to rename an item in an anvil, it will appear to work, but exiting the inventory reveals that the renamed item is merely a ghost item, and the original copy still exists.

Currently for me it's not even working client side.
Once I rename something that isn't named it instantly moves back in the far left slot of the anvil with it's default name.
However if I rename an item that is already renamed (by giving it to me using commands, it will allow me to remove it from the anvil from the far right slot, however it will have it's default name and an NBT tag.
I tried renaming and enchanting with a book at the same time. Only the enchantment is on the item, the name didn't change.
Can confirm this bug, renaming uses xp and the resulting tool is unnamed. When naming an item such as cobblestone, the new named item appears separate from the stack on client side, though disappears when you try to place it.
I confirmed and added a little more description to your report, hope you don't mind! 🙂
