    still got it in my 2022.3.4f1 project, after editing a prefab, sometimes it will cause missing references.
    Wow I can't even think how devastating this is in a big project.
    I'll try to make it reproducible then submit a bug report.

    If possible, try and download 2022.3.5f1 when available July 20 and see if the issues persists.

    I'm on 2022.3.7f1 LTS and started having this bug. I first noticed _unity_self null reference when playing in the editor, and later began losing references to scripts in prefabs.

    @Jakub_Machowski Could you submit a bug report with your affected project? We would like to ensure we are talking about the same issue.
    Because this particular issue should not appear in 2021 LTS.

    Interesting - I frequently get prefabs randomly disconnecting and never pieced together that this error message might be related. I'm going to keep an eye out for this message in future; usually it just triggers me to restart the editor.
