All the villagers in a village disappear upon opening world.
This has happened twice now, most recently over 20 active villagers disappeared when syncing a world that was recently played on another xbox.
This was not a case of them being killed by mobs, as when loaded it was daylight. The previous save was just after trading age there were at least 20 villagers active.
