Why does Actor::AttachToComponent not work and result in Template Mismatch during attachment?

I should have initialized the CharacterOwner in BeginPlay(), because initialized in:

  • PostLoad() CharacterOwner->IsTemplate() returns true: template
  • BeginPlay() CharacterOwner->IsTemplate() returns false: instanced 
void UInventoryComponent::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();	
	CharacterOwner = Cast<ATheThirdPersonGameCharacter>(GetOwner());

	UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("In %s, IsTemplate() = %s"),  
      *FString(__FUNCTION__),
      CharacterOwner->IsTemplate() ? TEXT("true") : TEXT("false"));
}
