Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-22555)

Description

Using NewObject inside PostInitProperties and creating a BP of the class will cause the editor to crash on PIE if the BP is is set in gamemode defaults

Steps to Reproduce

Open UE4Editor (any project)
Add code to project based on pawn (MyPawn)

In MyPawn.h add the following:

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Test)
		UCapsuleComponent* PlayerComponent;

	virtual void PostInitProperties() override;

In MyPawn.cpp add the following:

void AMyPawn::PostInitProperties()
{
	Super::PostInitProperties();

	PlayerComponent = NewObject<UCapsuleComponent>(this);
	PlayerComponent->AttachTo(RootComponent);
}

Compile
In the editor, create a BP based on MyPawn (MyPawnBP) and Gamemode (NewGameModeBP)
In NewGameModeBP set the default pawn to MyPawnBP
PIE

Result:
The editor crashes after clicking Play button
