(This is a recent regression of the fix for case 1312649, thus it's logged separately)

Repro steps:
1. Import the attached package and open the repro scene
2. Observe that both the particles and the capsule are casting shadows.

Expected outcome:

The capsule to not cast shadows as the Mesh Output's 'Cast Shadows' is 'Off'

Notes:

Looks like when 'Cast Shadow' is set to 'On' for the particle output, it overrides the 'Off' of the Mesh Output.
If the Mesh Output is set to cast shadows, but the particles are not, it works as expected.
