[MC-73032] When killing a player and quickly switching to a different weapon, the name of weapon in the death message matches that of the one in hand when the player dies.

To reproduce:
1) Kill someone (easier with a bow)
2) Quickly switch to a sword which has a name before the arrow hits.
3) If the arrow kills them, the name of the sword (item in hand) is shown.

Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w46a 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.
