Yep, me and friends on my realm have this bug so much that we call it THE chat lag.
/tell works, and so does /say. Interestingly, anvils don't work while chat is lagging, and signs get set to blank (permanently) every time the chat lags. I have a theory that this might be caused by the game's chat filter or something that checks user input, but I have no clue.

FWIW I agree with this guy, I can log in fine now, but skins are still borkin'. Me and my friend show up as Alexes.
Using a VPN does not fix the skins issue, nor does clearing my ./assets/skins folder.
Edit: The issue is gone for me now.
