[MC-30937] /summoned mobs riding XP orbs phase out of existence

I summoned a pig riding an XP orb with this command:

/summon Pig ~ ~ ~ {Saddle:1,Riding:{id:"XPOrb"}}

because it would allow me to do this: http://i.imgur.com/6JE8am3.gif

I noticed that if you pick up the XP orb, for a moment you are unable to kill the pig using melee weapons. I also tested with cows, same result.

Same here & I have a video of some strange action by XPs not behaving normally -they just continue coming at me; but doing nothing... (ie not doing anything to/for me)

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
