Resolution Note (2020.1.X):
The issue is caused by the user stripping away necessary information for the Serialization System to properly de-serialize the data. TextMeshPro uses Editor only fields which are also serialized. When we try to de-serialize the raw binary data, without the TypeTree information, the serialization system will not know how to map the data correctly, leading to a crash.
The workaround is to write the TypeTree when in Editor.
The fix we have at the moment is to document this behavior.
