Tested in 15w31C, still a issue.
Summoned a chicken with the tag EggLayTime to 15, layed a egg during painful knockback death.

No response in 7 months, assuming no longer an issue.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

I think this works as intended. it's just emergency baby saving.
