Reposted my comment from MCPE-23404:
We just saw this issue as well.
MS hosted Realm
Android MCPE (1.1.3)
both Amazon Fire Tab 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab A
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).
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
