[MC-51495] Summoned mobs do not come with custom player heads

/summon Zombie ~ ~1 ~ {Equipment:[{id:stone_sword,Count:1},{id:leather_chestplate},{id:leather_leggings},{id:leather_boots},{id:skull,Damage:3,tag:{SkullOwner:MHF_Villager}}],DropChances:[0.5F,0.0F,0.0F,0.0F,0.0F]}

This command should bring a mob in with a custom player head of the villager. I have used the give command to generate a a placeable head but when i use summon the head comes out looking like the default. My first thought was maybe I was not online, but I use the cactus head for decoration and it was loaded correctly.

has the tag for skull owner changed when summoning?

Also included the command on screen.

Confirming this 14w11b. It's possible this is now the intended thing, as player accounts will be UUID. But that makes custom head placement very frustrating for mapmakers.
