Calling anything from renderer.material on a prefab breaks the prefab material
Setting Material.shader (or anything else) on a prefab during runtime causes the prefab to get changed after leaving play mode. During play mode the field says "Type Mismatch" while after leaving play mode it says "Missing (Material)"
To reproduce:
1. Import repro package
2. Open scene repro
3. Inspect the two prefabs, notice that their materials are fine
4. Enter play mode and inspect the prefabs again - the materials are set to "Type Mismatch"
5. Leave play mode - the materials are now missing
It should return the prefabs back to normal
Solution: Use renderer.sharedMaterial instead.

... also... I only need to 'read' the prefab.renderer.material without changing anything, for this issue to occur.
e.g. var x = prefab.renderer.material;
will cause the prefab to lose its material?!!?

I too get this issue when trying to change the material on an instance of a GameObject created from a prefab. It somehow causes the prefab material to change to "Type mismatch" during run time and then become "Missing" when the game is stopped.
