I'm guessing that this bug is just temporary because it doesn't fit with the release notes. Currently, you are making new gear rather than using netherite "to upgrade your diamond gear." This is the first snapshot after all, you can expect them to iron these things out with the following snapshots.
We might revisit this, but right now it's working as intended.
Why not give the smithing table a use and make it so the enchantments stay when you upgrade your diamond gear in there, but get lost when you do it in a normal crafting table?
i think it is meant to do that because if you put a iron ingot on a pick or any iron tool it will fix it partly
I thought for sure this was a bug. When I noticed that the durability was reset, I pulled an old diamond pick out with durability 1 and used it instead. Sure netherite is expensive, but it seems much less expensive if you can use any trash diamond gear.
It would be interesting to keep it like this in the crafting table, and to add gear upgrades while retaining enchantments as a feature for the currently unused smithing table.
