Ok, its attached (For 1.15.1)

Is there anything else (like the crash report for 1.14 or something like that)?

Can reproduce in 1.16

Issue is that the player head when given does not contain the texture property. Which could be fine but, thing is Minecraft does not seem to check if the "textures" property exists or not.

You can test this with:

/data get entity @p Inventory[{Slot:0b}]

when you put the player head on your first slot it will print out the data including NBT aswell.

Confirmed in 1.16.1 and 20w28a:

/give @s player_head{SkullOwner:{Name:Notch}}

In 20w29a.

In 20w30a

Updated the command in the description since the original no longer works (presumably because the reporter changed their Minecraft username).

Still an issue, as of 1.16.4.

Hey there! I can confirm in 20w49a, however, using this command differently has varied results.

When using the command:

/give @s player_head{SkullOwner:{Name:Notch}}

The player head will not show up in your hand, however, when you use:

/give @s player_head{SkullOwner:Notch}

The player head will show up in your hand.
