Why are name_tag and nametag different ID items?

Unresolved bug: ID changes left behind legacy IDs

The ID changes from this beta are a great step to parity, but now duplicate items exist.

All items that changed their ID have their old ID still as a valid value, eg record_mellohi alongside music_disc_mellohi.
This affects both renamed items and items which got split up (dyes, boats, spawn eggs).
