Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-39323)

Description

A crash is occurring on project load when attempting to use GetParentActor and cast that to a Parent class that contains a child actor component inside of that child actor component's blueprint.

This did not occur in 4.13.2, and as a result, is a regression. This was reproduced in 4.14.0 CL# 3195953 and 4.15 Main CL# 3205566.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the editor
Create 2 Actor blueprint's "Parent" and "Child"
In Parent, add a child actor component and set it's class to Child
Compile & Save Parent
In Child, GetParentActor->Cast to Parent on BeginPlay
Compile & Save Child
Place Parent in the level
Save All & Close project
Re-open project

Result: Project crashes on load
