Player ridden entities disappear upon relog, but only when the world is open to LAN upon getting on the entity and logging out.
1. Create a new singleplayer creative world
2. Open world to LAN
3. summon a minecart
4. get in the minecart
5. log out
6. log back into the world
the minecart will have completely disappeared.

I figured out what the bug is. It only happens if the singleplayer world is open to LAN upon getting into the minecart and logging out.
Confirmed for 1.8.9 as well. Also works on boats, pigs, and horses. I discovered the latter the hard way, lost my favorite horse!
seems to be fixed in 16w43a. However, it also seems to be a duplicate of MC-47508
Can't confirm for 16w06a
