It's even worse. Wither has so many problems and I'll list all of them here.
If wither kills you, when you come back to him wither health indicator won't reappear, so you have to kill it without knowing if you are dealing damage. In this status I was able to change to phase 2. But at phase 2 it has another serious problem... If it kills you in phase 2, ok, you will lose wither health indicator... but also you will lose wither mob... It will continue attacking but as an invisible mob, and you can't deal damage to him.
The only way to restore its status is save and exit and reload your world... so when you come back you will see again its health bar and you will see the wither.
This happens at Bedrock Edition 1.11.4
Sometimes It causes problems such as Severe lag And bugs , or health bar missing or disappear. Severe lag and bugs: MCPE-47115
Wither issues don't come from Severe lag and bugs, because in Windows 10 Edition isn't happening the severe lag and bugs as MCPE-47115 says in description. Wither bugs happens on all platforms I guess or at least the venished wither in W10 Edition and as you say health bar missing happens on all platforms. And I think that it's a critical bug, since Wither is key in normal player progression to have access to Haste 2 by beacon to start doing huge projects in Survival mode.

When fighting the wither boss, I knocked its health down past half, then down to empty. The boss acted like it was going to explode, then didn't. The health bar maintained the the empty status. I died and returned. Health bar remained empty. I hit it a few times and the bar jumped up to half health. Upon dying and returning a second time, the bar did not appear at all, even when the wither was within 4 blocks of the player.
I was playing on a realm on version 1.11.1. another player at the time could visually confirm that there was no health bar, so issue was not client-side. Realm admin switched the world to peaceful to kill it.
