@unknown, that is MC-167532 and as such I have removed the attachments from your comment from this ticket.
At the same time some blocks, items and particles render over the background of nametags/renamed items in item frames/scoreboard... but not over the text (I don't know if this is a bug)
It's really easy to see if you change Text Background to Everywhere and change Text Background Opacity to 100%.
So far the blocks it happen to render over background that I know of are:
- Heads and all variants 
- Glass and glass panes and all variants 
- Signs and all variants 
- Hanging signs and all variants 
- Beds 
- Banners 
- Item frames 
- Bell (only the Bell) 
- Decorated pots and all variants 
- Minecarts and all variants 
- Conduit 
- Chests and all variants 
- Beacon (only the ray) 
- Mobs (only the ones spawned with spawn eggs, weird!) 
- Dropped items 
- Particles ❓ 
- Others ❓ 
There is another thing, when a player is sneaking near other players/nametags, it kinda blinks other nametags at the same time, but I was on a third party server, so it need further testing.
 
      
       
      
      
Also Banner name when on the edge of the map causes map next to it not to render in that part
