There is a crash when changing the value type of a MapProperty to something else that provides a ConvertFromType handler. The backward compatible loading code is not correct for map properties and ends up corrupting memory. This crash can manifest with a few different stacks, all involve MapProperty::SerializeItem or MapProperty::ConvertFromType
1. Open up any project
2. Create a new blueprint ParentBlueprint, add a new variable of type Map which maps from any enum to a Texture2d Object Reference. Compile and save
3. Create a child blueprint of that ChildBlueprint, modify defaults to add something to the map. Make sure the texture reference is valid (you may need to enable engine content). Compile and Save
4. Close and reopen project.
5. Open ParentBlueprint only. Change the value type of the map to a Texture2d Soft Object Reference. Compile and save,
6. Open ChildBlueprint, editor will crash reading the old data
