In 1.2.5 and earlier, when an entity teleports, they completely disappear from their previous position and reappear at their next destination. However, in 1.3.1 (snapshot 12w18a) and onwards, the teleporting entity can noticeably be seen moving when teleporting to their next destination.
To reproduce:
Teleport an entity through any method. (/tp command, enderman/shulker teleport, fox eating a chorus fruit, etc.)
What I expected: The entity teleporting would completely disappear and reappear at their desired destination.
What I observed: The entity teleporting can be seen visibly moving to their desired destination.
