To reproduce
Kill the ender dragon
/kill @e[type=ender_dragon]Spawn a new dragon using end crystals
Quit the world in the spawning process of the ender dragon and rejoin the world
Reloading chunks in the spawn sequence won't reproduce this bug.
Potential problem
Survival players without additional end crystals would have no chance getting back to the Overworld without having to kill themselves due to no existence of a portal leading back to the Overworld.

Can Confirm 1.19.3 Release Candidate 3. Additional gameplay problem of the portal not spawning that is caused by this bug is also confirmed.
Todo: Portal mechanic needs rework.
FWIW I root caused this and the code simply always writes false when it saves the {{isRespawning }}state. I am going to put a mod up to fix this.
Still an issue for 24w09a. This seems to be a major bug for hardcore worlds because if you jump into the void, then your world is gone forever. The Mojang priority must be reassigned to very important because of what I said.
