Excellent! Thank you.
Seems to me that should be reported as a bug, rather than a documentation error. It stands to reason that the behavior of GetInstanceID() should be consistent between editor and builds.
Anyway, problem solved! Thank you again.

This difference in behavior is not mentioned in the documentation and led us to assume it would behave the same in the editor and in a build. Furthermore, the documentation states that GetInstanceID() never returns 0 which is incorrect as it *does* return 0 for null objects in the editor.
We've reached out to Unity so that they correct GetInstanceID's documentation so that it matches its actual behavior.
