Ehh... this example is a simplified reconstruction of the Lazarus main.pp.
TComponent.Create calls InsertComponent which calls SetReference which calls
TObject.FieldAddress.

And somewhere between TComponent.Create and TObject.FieldAddress it got
messed up.
While looking at TObject.FieldAddress I saw it retrieve an Adress for an
empty name.
Besides this, maybe an idea to prevent unnecesary lookups and check if name
<> '' in TObject.FieldAddress

Maybe it is, while debugging I had troubles inspecting member vars.
