This is not the same bug. I happened to found this when I was dropping multiple items on the ground. It may be related to shadows but this is a seperate issue.
This is the same bug. When an item is dropped, the item's shadow appears inside the player's head. The camera in first-person view is positioned inside the player's head, so the item's shadow overlaps the mob's shadow, causing it to disappear due to MCPE-105396.
