Chests split when changing dimensions
When the player comes to the overworld from a portal sharing an adjacent chunk with chests, the chests split. The items persist in the chests and get split too. The game crashes when auto-saving with these chests. Re-logging generally fixes this and resets the chunk to a previous stage.

Are you sure this is happening in 1.16.201 Hotfix? This should be fixed, see
MCPE-106030.I can confirm: this is still happening in 1.16.201
I run 1.16.210.53 and do not have this bug.
This does not happen all the time. There is a small chance that this will occur. I know this because this has only happened once in 1.16.201 after hundreds of times using the same portal with the same chests.
Could not reproduce so far. Is this still an issue in the latest version?
