Active child of disabled parent crashes editor when creating new scene

Scene Hierarchy

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open user attached project
2. Open scene 'ISSUE'
3. From hierarchy, expand 'policeCar01_Gewicht2050'
Notice 'BlinkerGroup' is active (lightly colored) even though the parent is deactivated
4. Create new scene (CTRL + N). Unity crashes

Expected results: Child object disabled when parent object is disabled
Actual result: One of the child objects is enabled and causes a crash when creating a new scene

Workaround: disable and enable 'BlinkerGroup'. This makes it inactive because parent object is deactivated. Reloading the scene reenables the 'BlinkerGroup'.

Reproduced on: 5.4.0f3. 5.4.0p4, 5.4.1f1.
Not reproduced on: 5.3.6p4, 5.5.0b3

    Wow, even if your script if one year old it saved us. We had that crash since like 5 months and every time we needed to start unity we had to check and uncheck every root object in our scene or it would result in a unity crash even on 2018.2.0f2. But this script once updated work and fixed the scene.

    Thanks!

    I wrote an editor script to check for invalid enabled children and fix them on scene load, on play, and every minute. Might be overkill as I've never seen the bug show up except when loading a scene, but it works. https://pastebin.com/HK6jXaRF
