This is the worst bug that has ever happened and happened ...
I hope the Java team is working on this, it is very detrimental to the gameplay 😞
This actually happened to me as well when I was in the over world. A few times. But has happened to me as well. (happened let's say about hour 20 minutes ago)
I think it's likely that the next snapshot will mainly focus on fixing this and MC-175988, though I might be wrong.

You are probably right @unknown. 20w13b will most likely just be a transition snapshot that will only fix a few bugs (including these) and then 20w14a will come with content again.
This appears to be a special case of MC-175988 – if you die in the Nether or the End.
