Every once in awhile when hosting a LAN world for a few people, one of them ends up leaving the game then returning at the spawn with no items, but it apparently does not occur for anyone else (yet). We started to see this error in Minecraft 1.7.2 (with a few mods installed) but after moving to 14w07a with no mods it still happens, sometimes it is due to him crashing but sometimes it just occurs when he leaves the game then returns later. It does also happen on single player to him as well but it isn't as often. We have had him try to use several different computers but they all result with the same problem, I have even switched the computers that were hosting the LAN world and that didn't seem to fix it. I doubt that it has anything to do with his username but just in case it is BeachMan62 and we did not start seeing this error until just about a week ago.

Possibly, but when I do downgrade to a different version I never load any of my worlds from a newer version, plus, this has happened once when he left the world without closing Minecraft, then re-entered about 1 minute later with nothing, at first we thought it was a 1.7.2 bug but we created a completely separate world for the snapshot and still had the problem. I have a few other people join the LAN world when its open and they haven't lost any of their stuff (yet), neither have I. I don't see this problem in servers though, when I have hosted a few servers everything was working fine for him and he hasn't lost anything yet.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.9 / Launcher version 1.3.11 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.
Probably switched versions 14w0x -> 1.7.4 -> 14w0x
