Resolution Note (2020.2.X):
This issue is expected because the serializedProperty is getting disposed of in the code to clean itself up after OnGUI. In such a case, it is expected that an ArgumentNullException is thrown because the PropertyAttribute getter returns a null value. In order to avoid this exception, it is required that the user adds a null check on the attribute in the OnGUI before using SerializedObject.targetObject.
