Custom player heads sometimes flash the default skin for a single frame when placed

The bug

Custom player heads sometimes flash the default skin for a single frame when placed.

To reproduce

1. Give yourself a custom player head by executing the following command (replace (NAME) with your in-game name):

/give @p minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"(NAME)"}

2. Place it down.
3. Notice that it sometimes flashes the default skin for a frame before setting the custom skin.

Expected result

Only the custom skin should show.
