If you build a quick tick lava dispenser to light a chicken on fire, the chicken dies in one tick and doesn't leave any drops.
built the system in 16w02a and it didn't work, down graded the world to 15w51b and it worked as intended... haven't tried any other animals at this time....
I have included pictures of my redstone...

Probably related to MC-95539. My guess is that the chicken suffers knockback up into the lava, where both it and its drops are consumed.

It is a quick tick pulse on the dispenser... The lava doesn't stay long enough to be knocked back into it. As soon as the dispenser pulses the chicken is dying.

Is this still an issue in 16w03a?

I tested it out and I confirmed that it is indeed fixed in 16w03a. We can all eat chicken again.

Sorry, got a bit crazy with the snow and no internet, I can confirm chickens "dying as intended". Thanks for the fix.
