The bug
Running the command
/give @p minecraft:diamond_sword{display:{Name:""}}will say "An unexpected error occurred trying to execute that command" but will still give you the item. When you hold it, the game will crash.

Added a crash report for when an item with a section sign crashes the game, it results in a NullPointerException as well but the description that goes along with it is different, that being "Exception ticking world".
The game crash also occurs whenever the section sign (§) is used inside of a name or lore of an item (using the symbol in functions allows for color codes to work).
Cannot confirm that, also, that'd be a separate bug.
@FVbico https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-123839 was reported and resolved as a duplicate of https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-123782 , and this was marked as relating to this bug and fixed. One of those two bugs should likely be reopened as they were not completely solved.
Still affects 18w22c, I attached a crash report of it. In one instance for me it saved the world just before closing it out, resulting in Minecraft crashing upon trying to reopen the world.
