I have two non-rooted LG G6 phones (T-mobile) having the problem.
1 is running Android 7.1.1
1 is running Android 8.0.0
Running Minecraft v1.4.4.0 from Google Play
I respectfully reject the supposition this bug is caused by being on a "boundary between two chunks when the game crashes".
The issue appears on "Realms" servers and there is no "crash" involved. The server does not stop. Users (multiple) are not kicked out of the Realm. Gameplay continues without incident.
My continued experiences with this issue going all the way back to July 2017 occurs when traveling between the Overworld & Nether. And it repeatable every time. Animals who have been interacted with and are in pens will disappear. Named horses with armor and saddles will disappear, paintings will disappear from houses.
Respectfully I would ask that this be given a second look. This bug has made the game unplayable for my family as we are tired of having hours and hours of work wiped out by just moving between two worlds. It is almost impossible to overstate the importance of this bug being fixed to the many users listed here.
Independent testing by users seems to indicate the issue has something to do with the spawn chunk not being loaded correctly when switching between Overworld and Nether. It appears that if you move approximately 20 chunks away from the spawn the issue can be mitigated slightly.
There is also a possibility that animals are being teleported away as reported here:
===============================================
Today while traveling in my world in some area I didn't go since the event, I've had the surprise to find 3 tamed horses with their saddle and armor equipped. They are the horses I had before they disappear with all other animals... 5 pigs and 3 colored sheep were there too...
Could it be that our animals were in fact "teleported" in other chunks ? (or rather attached to the wrong chunk)
I'll try to see if I can find my 8 llamas somewhere else (easy to recognize: they all wear colored carpets)

1.) Created a new nether portal in the Realm by main homestead.
2.) Went through nether portal, returned within 60 seconds to overworld.
3.) All animals and paintings from inside the house were gone.
All of these animals had been interacted with in the past 24 hours or less as we had recently re-organized the entire homestead. All animals were kept in either 2-block deep pits surrounded by cobblestone fences with a single birch gate, or the horses were in a cobblestone fenced yard. We lost cows, chickens, sheep (natural & dyed), pigs, and horses (both armored & saddled).
We also lost all paintings from inside our house. This included multiple sizes and shapes.
We are still investigating to see what other items have been removed.

We just saw this issue as well.

Brand-new nether portal created by our main homestead. We went into the nether portal - stayed about 2 minutes - then came back.
All sheep, cows, chickens, pigs, and horses had despawned from our pens and pits. This included armored & saddled horses.
We also lost all paintings inside our house.
Definitely a large bug that needs to be fixed.
This needs to be combined with MCPE-23404.

I am also experiencing this in MCPE (Android) version 1.0.5 on my Realms subscription account/server. I believe this may have resulted in lost items (maps).
@GoldenHelmet - I have linked a copy of my family's Realm world where we see the problem - I copied this from my Android phone backup of the world:
Family Realm on Google Drive
We experienced the disappearing stuff bug multiple times in this Realm starting just after this save.
1.) We lost livestock located at 50,x,7.
2.) We lost all the paintings in the house centered at 63,x,6.
3.) We built a nether portal about 100 blocks away. The provided backup unfortunately is before we built the nether portal.
As soon as we started traveling back and forth to the nether, we began to notice things disappearing sometimes when we returned. We also noticed, that although we always entered the nether from the same Overworld portal, and we left the nether via the same Underworld portal that was created, when we returned to Overworld we were always coming back to a newly-generated Overworld portal. We eventually had ten or more portals in the Overworld within a 40-block radius.
