Large bossbar texts fail to save to level.dat, crashing on relog

The bug

When a text component resolved in a bossbar saves to a string greater than 65536 characters, the game writes null to the entry in level.dat, which causes a crash upon reloading the world.

How to reproduce

/summon marker
/summon marker
/execute at @e[type=marker] at @e[type=marker] at @e[type=marker] at @e[type=marker] at @e[type=marker] at @e[type=marker] at @e[type=marker] at @e[type=marker] run summon marker
/bossbar add test:test {"selector":"@e[type=marker]"}
/bossbar set test:test players @p

Now save and quit from the world and attempt to rejoin.

The game crashes just before loading

Additionally, this is logged when attempting to save the world:
