Imagine being an 11 year old girl. You have been grinding for days to get your diamond gear. And suddenly, it just disappears.
This has been happening for at least 6 years. See MC-75595
Person A hosts a LAN game with person B joining.
Sometimes* when B joins the game, she is back at original spawn with empty inventory.
When that happens, a new playerdata file has appeared. A username lookup (https://mcuuid.net/) using the UUID of the new playerdata file returns nothing.
When using a converter (http://tools.glowingmines.eu/#load) to map the player name of B to an offline UUID, the resulting UUID matches the UUID in the new playerdata file name.
*) Cannot tell if it is random, or every 10 joins, or every Tuesday.

Me too 😞 But you can copy the name of the new file, delete it, and rename the old file to the name of the new file to move the playerdata

MC-193198 does not look like a duplicate of this bug, because this one does not affect level.dat.
Sounds like you maybe have problems with out internet connection, what results in problems resolving your online player id and makes your server using an offline-id.

I do not know if we had a duplicate or ghost player generate in the LAN world or not.
But I can tell that if there is an intermittent internet connection problem, that is not how the game should handle it.
I feel very sorry for you😞
