How to reproduce:
make an area where the mobs cant flee or die
spawn 2 hostile mobs (I tested with Zombie Pigman)
name only one of them with a name tag
go a bit farther and do something else/wait (I waited 20 minutes)
both mobs will despawn, not only the one not given a name
Update: still happens on 0.15.10

Hi, I have the same problem. I am making iron farm, so I need to name 4 zombies. Made 4 name tags with same name at once. Named one zombie and left farm half complete. Used it for few days. After few days got new zombie and name it. Again left it for few days. Today I have decided to get two more zombies. Got one and named it. Because it was morning could not get second zombie after some time I looked at my inventory and so I have two name tags, but here should be only one left. I have run to new named zombie and the cell was empty. I thought I made a mistake and had not named it. So I got new zombie at night. Named it and checked I have only one name tag. Got second zombie and named it. No name tags in inventory any more and zombie are named. I can see the name. Left both zombies. later looked at my inventory and I see I have two name tags, but I should have 0 name tags. So I run to zombies cells and found them empty.
I use 1.15.2 minecraft and play on minecraft realm.
So name tag worked few days ago, but stopped working today.
Please respond and add the current version if you can reproduce this issue.
