Description

If an actor contains a custom SceneComponent that creates another component that is tagged with Transient and DuplicateTransient, deleting/un-deleting/deleting the actor again will cause the editor to crash.

This also causes the project to reach 95% when loading and then produce the same callstack.

Workaround:
Crash only seems to occur if the component that is declared in the custom scene component is marked as Transient and DuplicateTransient in its UPROPERTY macro.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open UE4 Editor (any project)
  2. Add class to project based on SceneComponent (MySceneComponent)
  3. Add the following to MySceneComponent.h
    	UPROPERTY(Transient, DuplicateTransient)
    	UStaticMeshComponent* MeshComponent;
    
  4. In MySceneComponent.cpp add the following to the constructor:
    TheMeshComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("TheMeshComponent"));
    
  5. Compile
  6. In the editor, create a blueprint based on actor (MyActorBP)
  7. Add a My Scene component to MyActorBP
  8. Place multiple instances (3) of MyActorBP to the level
  9. Select all instances of MyActorBP and delete them
  10. Use Ctrl+Z to undo the delete action
  11. Select a single instance of MyActorBP and delete it

Result:
Editor crashes when trying to delete the actor again.
