Crash with ender pearls at height limit

I was building a base at height limit and accidentally threw an ender pearl at the ground. This caused the game to freeze and then crash with the following error message:

The game crashed: ticking entity
Error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 24 out of bounds for length 24

I was locked out of my world due to the ender pearl still being there on re-entry and re-crashing the game.

I have included a short video of me reproducing this crash in a fresh world.
