[MC-67794] Cannot /summon cross Dimension

I was attempting to summon a Cow into the nether from the overworld.

The command I used was:

/summon Cow 109 36 81 {Dimension:-1}

The cow was summoned but only at 109 36 81 in the Overworld.

The summoned cow kept the Dimension:-1 tag after being spawned, also after relogging in.

In the words of Searge

Please do not report issues related to NBT tags as bugs. If changing NBT via commands does not have the expected effect, that's always considered "working as intended".

Okay, I'll stop... Bugging you...with NBT quirks.

I really think this doesn't work as intended, I'm having similar issues one year later. Using /entitydata to update the tag also does not change the dimension, this seems to be an actual bug.
