While I was playing survival using the latest snapshot, I entered the nether portal in the overworld. When I entered the nether there was a zombie and he had killed me. Then when I clicked on the respawn button it didn't work, so I exit to the main menu. When I loaded my world from there, my player was in the overworld near the portal (not dead) and I could see my stuff from death near the portal, but my player already had them in his inventory.
Is this still a concern in the current Snapshot 14w08a 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.
