You should encounter the following error:

Actor:SendMessage may only be called on Actors attached to the DataModel. - Main:13
Stack Begin
Script 'user_Actor Bug.rbxmx.Actor Bug.Main', Line 13

This bug was tested on both versions 0.649.0.6490878 (64bit) and 0.651.0.6510833 (64bit). Beta features do not have any effect on the bug.

Expected Behavior:
The error should either occur regardless of the setting, or should not occur at all (depending on whether it is intentional or not).
