Confirmed issue for me too. I sincerely hope this literally game breaking bug is fixed, as a good handful of my world's require me to backup and reset whenever I play them.

I discovered a work around for this bug. Follow these instructions:

Download your Realms world to your Xbox One. This world will be named "<Your Realms Name> - Copy". Next go into the edit menu for this downloaded world and select Copy World. The copy will be named "Copy of <Your Realms Name> - Copy" and this world will still exist after quiting and restarting Minecraft.

in reply to the last comment, the point is we shouldn't have to go through all the hoops to get a simple thing to work, and while yes, that will work but, if you try to make any copies of that (copies of the copy of the downloaded realm), for redundancy, they will disappear in the same manner. its annoying because for a time i was keeping "checkpoints" if you will, copies of the realm at different stages, so i could re upload it should something really bad happen. but now the majority of the saved checkpoints are gone.

Yes, this is a horrible Priority 1 bug that should be fixed as soon as possible. I expect this bug is causing some players to rage quit Minecraft.
As I said in my comment above my instructions are a work around. The very small percentage of users who didn't completely lose a world they spent hours in and who are technical enough to find this bug can use the instructions.
