I'm encountering this as well, in 2020.1 the use case is a script that detaches particles from the their emitters when the parent object is destroyed. It works fine in normal usage, allowing particle systems to play out their lifetimes organically after their emitter is destroyed, but it will throw this error when stopping the game in the editor. No real impact on usage, but tracking it down to this bug was a waste of an hour.
