When my MCPE crashed or I leave my game, passive mobs like (skeleton) horses, villagers, iron golems, pigs, sheep, cows, rabbits, mooshrooms, and chickens that I have kept in a generated chunk (viewable or non-viewable chunks) despawned even I have nametags on some of them.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make your game crash or leave your world
2. Re-join the world that you have a lot of passive mobs
3. Check whether they despawned or not, this bug doesn't always happen

The samething is happening to me I lost my fox and villagers that had nametags on them.
I REALLY hope this gets fixed soon... Because of this bug I lost the fastest horse I’ve ever owned and its mule offspring, golden horse armour, the contents of the mule chest, a golden apple, a golden carrot and two name tags. 😞
