Basicly loading a old world to new snapshot delete chunks, causing then to have to regenerate again. Seems to have effect on chunks with entities and tile entities used to be in there.

One method to reproduce what I think is this bug:
Create a new world,
Place a command block
Enter the following command:
/give @p minecraft:tipped_arrow 1 0 {CustomPotionEffects:[
{Id:8,Amplifier:0,Duration:3600}
]}
Power it
Close and reopen world
Chunk containing command block will regenerate
I've tried it with a few other commands with no reversion, not sure what's special about this one
Powering it does seem to be important
Important note: This bug exists with or without upgrading from a previous version, contrary to the title
