MissingReferenceException occurs when entering Play mode with a locked GameObject in the Inspector
Reproduction steps:
0. Make sure your Enter Play Mode Settings are set to "Reload Domain and Scene", no other mode reproduces the issue.
1. Create a new Unity project
2. Create a new empty MonoBehaviour script
3. Add a GameObject to the scene
4. Add the MonoBehaviour (from Step 2) to the GameObject (from Step 3)
5. Add a Collider (e.g., BoxCollider) to the same GameObject
6. Lock the GameObject in the Inspector, by clicking on the padlock icon in the top-right corner of the Inspector
7. Enter the Play Mode
8. Observe the Console
Expected result: No errors occur
Actual result: "MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'NewMonoBehaviourScript' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it." error is thrown

I am having the same issue on 6000.2.6f2 on Windows 11. If there is another unlocked inspector, or another inspector locked on a gameobject with no scripts, there are no issues.
