Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-41194)

Description

Following my repro, I hit an ensure and crash. The two times I tried to repro after my first crash resulted in different call stacks. I'll comment the other Jiras once I have them in.

One of my crashes had the same callstack as [Link Removed] which was closed as Cannot Reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce

Repro:

Sync QAGame to the same CL as the latest binary build.
Open a copy of QAGame with the latest binary build
In the Content Browser, find the C++ class QAHotReloadUPROP and created a C++ derived from it named CowCPP
Right click on CowCPP and create a Blueprint class based on CowCPP and name it CowBP.
Place an instance of CowBP into the level.

Switch to Visual Studio and add the following code to CowCPP.h below the GENERATED_BODY() macro:

public:
UPROPERTY(Category = ThingsAndStuff, BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere) float Stealthiness;
	
UPROPERTY(Category = ThingsAndStuff, BlueprintReadOnly) bool KingCow;

Click the compile button in UE4Editor
Open CowBP in the Blueprint subeditor and focus the Event Graph
Right click in the event graph, search for the category "things", and place the following nodes in he event graph:
1. "Get King Cow" node
2. "Get Stealthiness" node
3. "Set Stealthiness" node

In CowCPP.h, change Stealthiness to Stealth, and set it equal to 3.0f.

UPROPERTY(Category = ThingsAndStuff, BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere) float Stealth = 3.0f;

Click the Compile button in the editor.

Result:
UE4Editor crashes while trying to HotReload.

Expected:
Project is able to HotReload without crashing.

Frequency:
3/3
