ChildActor is being set to null on client via replication

ChildActor is being set to null on client via replication

UDN
Description

When DuplicateWorldForPIE is called and serializes the references in another AlwaysLoaded sublevel, the properties of a ChildActorComponent are confusingly inaccurate.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create new Persistent Level (File -> New Level)
  2. Add new Blueprint class derived from Actor (I named it "ChildActor")
  3. Add a Child Actor Component to the actor from step 5 with Child Actor Class = TargetPoint (any class will work)
  4. Set Replicates = true for the actor from step 5 and Replicates = true (category Child Actor Component -> Child Actor Template -> Replication) for the Child Actor from step 6
  5. Add ChildActor to the level
  6. Start PIE with Net Mode = "Play As Client" and Run Under One Process = false
  7. Run the console command "obj list"
