1.8 clients seem to dislike "resurrecting" a dead player entity, doing so results in the player entering a glitched state where its nickname is displayed on the feet and they can't be attacked by melee. Destroying and recreating the client-side entity at respawn time seems to fix the glitch, and does not seem to affect more modern clients.
