Yeah, like Modern said, this is most likely client-side. If it was server side we would be getting spammed with errors because that would mean you were holding an item that the serve couldn't recognize. The first method would be to try the item in default and see if it reproduces the same bug. If it is still messed up, then try using a clean minecraft folder to see if there is a problem with one of the files Minecraft running. If it STILL shows an empty tooltip, and you can't burn the item, then let us know and we will delete your player.dat file after you empty your inventory to prevent losing anything important.
