The bug
In versions 1.2.5 and before, pausing the game would display a "saving level..." message in the pause menu when it was saving chunks. while it still saves chunks when you pause it, the message does not show up in the pause menu anymore.

Upon inspection of the code, it seems there is no attempt to render the text there. My guess is that the feature was removed, but maybe it was accidentally deleted when they re-did a lot of GUI code.
Maybe related to MC-2681.
I have noticed this, but thought it was a feature. We must get confirmation on whether or not this is intended.
