Put the summary of the bug you're having here
What I expected to happen was...:
...the pig to get it's name and the Name Tag to disappear.
What actually happened was...:
I (re-)named a pig which had a saddle on. The pig got the name as expected, but I still had the Name Tag. When I relogged the pig's name was gone, but the Name Tag was still intact - with the name I wanted for the pig.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Name a pig with a saddle
2. Relog to find the name disappeared

You can't name the pig because it has a saddle, similar to being unable to name villagers.
The bug is that the client thinks it has been named, and of course that you can't name it.
Confirmed in 1.8.1.
To [Mod] Ezekiel: Why "of course"? I just flew a saddled pig off a cliff and wanted to name it so other people on the server would leave the pig alone - but it doesn't work. I think it should.

Appears to be a client side bug. Using /say @e[type=Pig] prints still "Pig".
Confirmed, happens even when walking far away.
