Gameobject fails to deserialize properties that target objects inside bone hierarchies

[Fortune117]

Describe the bug

When trying to network a player prefab I receive an error on the connecting client when they try to deserialize the game object for it:

Error when deserializing PlayerController on (Player - fortune (2)).Eye (GameObject 47e979ba-102f-4a93-8e2d-d239f54b3ff6 was not found)
{
  "_type": "gameobject",
  "go": "47e979ba-102f-4a93-8e2d-d239f54b3ff6"
}

The property on the player prefab looks like this:

It points to this game object:

The issue seems to only happen when the Model gameobject is set to the Network Object networking mode, but does correctly deserialize when set to Network Snapshot. In my case, I need it to be Network Object for the purpose of syncing rotation.

To Reproduce

1. Download the repo
2. Connect via instance
3. See the error in console
4. Change the network mode of the Model gameobject to Network Snapshot and it deserializes correctly.

Expected behavior

Should deserialize correctly.

Additional context

No response

It’s because the body is networked

Same problem. Client failed to link properties (components, gameobjects) on networked (object mode) parents related to networked (object mode) children. Deserializing error (GameObject not found):

Note that all stuff works correctly if child is networked in snapshot mode
