are you working with github? if so, this could help you hotfixing the bug:
1. make a trivial modification in the prefab with info loss.
2. git reset --hard HEAD
3. return to unity, and reload the scene
the lost information should return after doing this.

I'm having this issue as well, my game object references keep disappearing randomly from prefabs and objects in the hierarchy. It seems to happen after saving, build, or completely just at random times. Very frustrating, and I basically cannot work on my game at all until this is fixed. I spend all my time re-adding game object references that keep disappearing.

It looks like this is fixed in 2018.3.6 but actually it's not. I'll send a new bug report.
