Issue #35709: Deacon randomly loses his Protected status

 
For whatever reason, Deacon can become unprotected when dismissed, which often results in him dying on his way back, failing any Railroad quests and turning the faction hostile.

I've combed through all instances of SetProtected(), but there doesn't seem to be anything that would unset the flag on Deacon specifically, so I'm at a loss as to what precisely does this. I wish I could provide more info.
