After the latest update (1.18.0 which released today), I am still having villagers and other entities disappear at random. None of the villagers were able to pass beyond a chunk border. They are housed inside a square, roofed off building they are unable to leave that sits entirely within a single chunk. I also had 4 minecarts used for a couple of super smelters nearby. Those also disappeared.
What happened leading up to this was the following:
I had played a relatively long, 3 hour session. During this time I had crafted 4 minecarts (as my previous ones had disappeared a few days before the update), and cured two zombie villagers. I housed the cured villagers within a building that is completely closed off from the outside, and sits entirely within a single chunk. The villagers are unable to cross a chunk border.
I bred the villagers twice before logging off, leaving two assigned villagers, and two child villagers. All had beds and work blocks. Immediately after logging off, I exported the world in order to back it up. The world is moderately large, approaching 600MB. I came back a few hours later, logged onto the world, and immediately noticed the villagers and minecarts are missing.

I had this happen when connected to the 1.18.0.02 Bedrock Dedicated Server. Had hoped the issue was fixed but seems not.Β
Guess it's back to not playing again until ... when?Β

If possible, could you please provide a copy of the world save from before and after the mobs disappeared? Please attach them to MCPE-144208.
On Windows 10 you can use the Export world feature.
On Android or iOS you need to use a file explorer to navigate to Device storage > games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds
On Xbox or Switch the only way is to upload it to a Realm, and then download the world on Windows 10 or Android/iOS. (Please do not purchase a Realms subscription just to provide a world to us - but if you have a Realm already this may be a viable option if you wish to do so.)
If the world is larger than 10MB you can upload the world to OneDrive or a similar file sharing site, and then share the link.
Is there any place I can send the backup of my world for potential diagnosis?
