In Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.21.71, when I use a name tag on any mob, the name tag disappears, but the mob does not get named. This happens in both old and new worlds, even after restarting the game. Tested on multiple mobs, including chickens and zombies.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open an anvil and rename a name tag (e.g., "Test").
Equip the renamed name tag and use it on a mob (tested on chicken and zombie).
The name tag disappears, but the mob does not get named.
Observed Results:
The name tag is consumed, but the mob remains unnamed.
Happens in both old and new worlds.
The issue persists even after restarting the game.
Expected Results:
The mob should receive the name, and the name should appear above it.
Additional Info:
World Type: Local world.
Tested Different Names? Yes, I tried multiple names, and the issue still happens.
Platform: Samsung Tab A7 lite running Android 14.
Minecraft Version: 1.21.71.
But "Enabling 'In-game Player Names' fixed the visibility issue, but the name tags still get consumed even when the name isn't visible. This can cause players to lose name tags without knowing why.”
