Minecraft PE Egg Throwing Bug

It would appear that there's yet another crippling bug lurking around in the latest release of Minecraft Pocket Edition. While playing Minecraft PE 0.7.1 via local multiplayer (over wi-fi) if one of the players throws an egg, the host player's device will freeze. I've been able to replicate this error several times over the last week and it occurs 100% of the time. Throwing an egg during a normal one-player survival game does not cause the error.
