Resolution Note:
Just need to change this line:
NativeArrayUnsafeUtility.ConvertExistingDataToNativeArray<float>(p, count, Allocator.Persistent);
To this:
NativeArrayUnsafeUtility.ConvertExistingDataToNativeArray<float>(p, count, Allocator.Invalid);
Changing the Allocator to Allocator.Invalid. Then the Dispose must be removed entirely.
The code is using the this pointer of a fixed layout struct as the data pointer for a new NativeArray using ConvertExistingDataToNativeArray. This is fine, but ConvertExistingDataToNativeArray doesn't allocate a new buffer, it just interprets the pointer supplied to be the array pointer. This means you need to NOT use an allocator (therefore using Invalid), and definitely don't Dispose. It's crashing because that Dispose is trying to free memory that is actually containing the struct property value on a MonoBehaviour.
