If you logged out of a 1.6.1 server in a boat and logged back in on 1.6.2 your hunger bar is missing

In 1.6, all ridden entities show their health in place of the hunger bar. Since boats (and minecarts, for that matter) do not have "health", the display remains empty. Getting off the boat will restore the hunger bar.
