[MC-303194] Piglins randomly convert into Zombified Piglins inside the Nether (without entering the Overworld) in snapshot 25w42a

In snapshot 25w42a, Piglins sometimes randomly turn into Zombified Piglins while still in the Nether, even though they have never left the Nether and should therefore not be exposed to the Overworld’s environment.

This happens sporadically in different Nether biomes (Crimson Forest, Nether Wastes, Basalt Deltas).

This happens in all biomes. Also does Piglin Brutes and Hoglins.
