"Canvas (Environment)" GameObject is added as root to a Canvas Prefab when the Prefab is saved with "PrefabUtility.SaveAsPrefabAsset" in a Script

How to reproduce:
1. Open the “PrefabTest.zip“ project
2. Open the “SampleScene“
3. Open the “Assets/Canvas.prefab” Prefab in the Project tab
4. Observe the “Canvas“ GameObject in the Hierarchy
5. Exit the Prefab Edit Mode
6. Select the “EditorButton” GameObject in the Hierarchy
7. Click on the “Prefab Load/Save“ Button in the Inspector
8. Select and open the “Assets/Canvas.prefab” Prefab in the Project tab
9. Observe the Hierarchy

Expected result: The Canvas has not changed
Actual result: The Canvas has a grayed-out “Canvas (Environment)“ root GameObject
