No plugins, it was a vanilla server on the 13w17a snapshot. I will test it tonight, again, to attempt to reproduce. I have view distance set to 11, port is different than normal, game mode 2, difficulty 3, and the server is whitelisted, otherwise I didn't change the default settings.
Where I was killed was in very close proximity to the spawn point (within 20 blocks or so), so I am wondering if that might have something to do with it. When we died farther from spawn (in later videos), this seemed to not be an issue.
While playing in Adventure mode while on my multi-player server, I encountered a single zombie in a house during the day. I retreated and the zombie chased me out into the sun, catching fire. Soon afterwards, zombies began to rain down from above, increasing the number of opponents dramatically. I never actually hit the zombie.
Only once I moved a significant distance from the nearest burning zombie did the zombie rain end.
I have this on video, as I was recording a Let's Play when it happened. When it finishes uploading to YouTube I will give a specific link to where it happens in the video. This was on snapshot 13w17a.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuSBNQ4cukg at 18:18 to 19:34 is the part relating to this bug.
I can confirm this error in our Let's Play on a vanilla 13w17a multiplayer server. When my friend logged in, I had a sword in hand and was wearing boots, and they could see that when they signed in. No matter what they put on, though, I was unable to see what they were wearing until they relogged. When each of us died, we appeared to be wearing our default skins again.
Thus, it seems to be an issue with the server not pushing to each of the clients when a player update happens with regards to items held or armor worn.
