Subobject pointer may be null when attempting to access a nested BP added property in a BP script or python

This is likely something going wrong in the Blueprint Editor utilities function calls or something like that. Obviously this works as expected in the Subobject Editor itself, otherwise no nested BP properties would work. 

1. Create a base actor blueprint with a static mesh component
2. Set the static mesh to a cube
3. Create a child BP based on that
4. Set the static mesh component to a sphere
5. Using the following BP editor utility script, attempt to get the current value of the Child blueprint's static mesh component

Result: The static mesh value is a cube

Expected: you get the child's sphere static mesh
