How to reproduce:
1. Open the “ShaderWarmup“ project
2. Open the “Crash“ scene
3. Create a “Shader Variant Collection”
4. Open the new shader variant collection in the Inspector
5. Click on “Add shader” and choose “CustomUnlit“ shader
6. Add the shader variant with the keyword “Normal _C“
7. Create a new GameObject in the scene
8. Attach the “WarmupShader“ script to the new GameObject
9. In the “Collection” field choose the newly created shader variant collection
10. In the “Shader“ field choose the “CustomUnlit“ shader
11. Enter the Play Mode
Expected result: No crash
Actual result: The Editor crashes
Reproducible with: 2022.3.25f1, 2023.2.19f1, 6000.0.0b15
Could not test with: 2021.3.37f1 (was not able to downgrade the project)
Reproducible on: macOS 13.5.2 (Intel), Windows 10 Pro (22H2)
Not reproducible on: No other environments tested
Note: The code snippet “#pragma dynamic_branch __ _D _E“ is causing the issue in the “CustomUnlit.shader“
