LAN Server: Cannot see own custom skin, visible to other players

Skin failing to load to personal player, sometimes halting skin design and annoying lots of players.

What I expected to happen was that the skin would normally load as usual, but something peculiar happened...

The skin failed to load, and i saw the Basic Steve skin, a sign that my skin failed to load, but when i asked other players about it, they said they were having the same problem, but could see my skin just fine, and i responded the same to them.

Steps to Reproduce:
1: Go on any server/save
2: There is a chance the bug will occur.
3: If failed to reproduce, you might have to log in again.

(EDIT: Spotted in 1.7.8, the chance f it happening dropped largely. Still happens, needs attention)
