[MC-63729] stats entity not working with clear command executed by player

I tried it again today and it worked fine O.o
I don't delete the issue, so if someone else runs into it, he can confirm it.

/stats entity @a set AffectedItems @p OBJECTIVE

puts always 1 into the objective when succesfully executing this command (0 if not):

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ clear @p minecraft:torch 0 128

but

/stats entity @e[type=Squid,name=NAME] set AffectedItems @e[type=Squid,name=NAME] OBJECTIVE

works fine with:

/execute @e[type=Squid,name=NAME] ~ ~ ~ clear @a minecraft:torch 0 128
