Editor crashes on compile with no warning when trying to access information from a "Slot as Canvas Slot" node on tick that has not been set yet by begin play

If a user creates a widget variable that is set on begin play and then tries to get information from that widget via the "Slot as Canvas Slot" node on tick the editor will crash. This appears to happen because the tick fires off before the begin play has a chance to set the widget variable.

1. Open the editor
2. Create a new widget blueprint
3. Add an image to the designer tab of the widget
4. Compile and save
5. Open the player controller
6. Create the blueprint in the attached image
7. Compile
8. Notice the editor crashes

Expected: The editor does not crash and instead throws an error
Result: The editor crashes
