Ghast Loot Disappears If Reflected Fireball Explodes Under The Ghast

When you reflect a Ghast fireball and it hits under the Ghast in the middle, the explosion wipes out the Ghast loot and experience orbs that should have dropped. Please see the attached video that shows the bug happening on Minecraft Java 1.19.4 (Vanilla).

How to reproduce:
1. Summon a Ghast into a semi-caged area.
2. Get the Ghast's attention in survival to get him to shoot a fireball at you.
3. Reflect the Ghast's fireball towards the middle of the underside of the Ghast.

Can confirm in 23w31a. Two useful commands to repro were:

/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~5 ~ {NoGravity:1b,Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:ghast",Silent:1b}]}
/effect give @s minecraft:jump_boost 3 4 true

(The latter is so the ghast will aggro you; it won't see you if you're too far below it due to [MC-49640].)

Can confirm in 25w20a.
