Fatal error when trying to associate a type parameter within Model In-Place

With Revit2017 SP2, I can reliably reproduce a fatal error with the following steps:
1) Create a new blank project, Project1
2) Create a new Generic Model* family, Family1
3) Create some trivial geometry in Family1, e.g. cuboid extrusion
4) Load Family1 into Project1
5) Within Project1, select Component -> Model In-Place
6) Make the in-place Component a Generic Model*, Generic Models 1
7) Within Generic Models 1, place an instance on Family1
8) Select the instance of Family1, select "Edit Type"
9) Try to associate any type parameter: Revit immediately response with "A serious error has occurred". Shortly thereafter, it exits with a fatal error.
* There's nothing special about Generic Model, it happens with any category of in-place component and loadable family.
I'm guessing that this is a side-effect of the introduction of Global parameters. Presumably the option to associate type parameters should just be disabled within the Model In-place environment.
