I play minecraft with my 2 kids on the Xbox in split screen. Since this weeks update to minecraft when we open a pre existing world the world owners progress and inventory is loaded. However, the split screen users are loaded as new users at the world spawn. No exp or inventory is loaded for them when there should be.
this is hugely upsetting to my children who have lost months of progress and can no longer control their pets. I can see hundreds of other players posting about this in the Microsoft forum. Please issue a fix as high priority.

That does NOT sound like the same issue at all..
It's on new worlds too (ofc you don't have anything to lose on a new world so it's not noticeable). Splitscreen players just don't seem to link with their profiles at all. Splitscreen players also only see grey LAN pictures in a pause menu instead of a picture of other players. They don't seem to get achievements and, of course, game creates new player data for them on existing worlds which means no exps, pets, inventory and ender chest content.
Since 1.16.210 this happens every time to every profile (before the update it only happened sometimes).
We basically can't (or want) progress the game until this is resolved.
