The assert is incorrect because this method may be called before rematerialization of the ObjectValue takes place, and therefore, `_selected` will be nullptr. This pull request patches the method to just return `Handle() => nullptr` if the rematerialization of the object hasn't taken place yet. This is the same behavior used by scalar-replaced objects not participating in merges.
