Crash after creating a suboject for RootComponent if the actor is placed on the level

Crash after creating a suboject for RootComponent if the actor is placed on the level

Description

The crash occurs when trying to assign a new value to RootComponent if the Pawn is already placed on the level

Crash does not happen in  P4 //UE4/Release-4.25.3 CL 13942748

Other steps to reproduce №1:
1) Create Blank C++ project
2) Create a new Pawn C++ class.
3) Open MyPawn.cpp
4) Add two includes:

#include "UObject/ConstructorHelpers.h"
#include "Components/SphereComponent.h"

5) Add two lines under PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;

USphereComponent* SphereComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<USphereComponent>(TEXT("RootComponent"));
RootComponent = SphereComponent;

6) Place the Pawn on the level
7) Compile
Result: Editor crashed with the same Callstack

 

Other steps to reproduce №2:

1) Create a Blank C++ project With Starter Content
2) Create a new Actor C++ class. Name it MyClass
3) Open MyClass.h. 
4) Add following lines under AMyClass();

UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere)
UStaticMeshComponent* VisualMesh;

5) Open MyClass.cpp
6) Add following lines under PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;

VisualMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Test Mesh"));
VisualMesh->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);
static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> 
CubeVisualAsset(TEXT("/Game/StarterContent/Shapes/Shape_Cube.Shape_Cube")); 
if (CubeVisualAsset.Succeeded()) { 
VisualMesh->SetStaticMesh(CubeVisualAsset.Object); VisualMesh->SetRelativeLocation(FVector(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)); 
}

7) Compile and place MyClass on the level
8) Change 

VisualMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Test Mesh"));  

to

VisualMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Test1 Mesh"));

9) Compile again

Actual: Crash at the end of compiling 

Steps to Reproduce

1) Create Blank C++ project
2) Create a new Pawn C++ class.
3) Open MyPawn.cpp
4) Add line under PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;

RootComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<USceneComponent>(TEXT("RootComponent"));

6) Place the Pawn on the level
7) Compile

Actual: Crash at the end of compiling 

Expected: Compiling successfully. Subobject for RootComponent is created.
