Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-19998)

Description

Casting to the child of a blueprint using the self reference (as the parent) throws a warning. Then placing a self reference anywhere in the event graph of the child by it's self will cause a crash on compile.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the editor
Create a new Actor blueprint and name it "ClassA"
Create a New Actor blueprint and name it "ClassAChild"
Set "ClassAChild" as a child of "ClassA"
Open ClassA
Drag off of begin play and cast to ClassAChild
Drag off of the object pin of the casting node and use a self reference
Compile and save (you will get a warning)
Open the ClassAChild blueprint
Place a self reference in the event graph (do not connect it to anything)
Compile and save
Notice that the editor crashes

Expected: An error would be given
Result: Editor crashes
