Notes
This issue also affects other mobs with armour on I believe. For a while the second layer of gold armour helmet had not rendered on mobs like skeletons. Therefore, it may be the case that the diamond (and other) helmets do not render on other mobs too but have not been noticed until now. They would therefore appear to be able to walk in sunlight without burning
