Exception in PhotonView
Options
I ran into this today. There is probably something wrong my setup, but still, it shouldn't cause exceptions. I'm using PUN 2.9
(Filename: C:/Projects/IncidentCommander/IC_Unity/Incident Commander/Assets/Plugins/Photon/PhotonUnityNetworking/Code/PhotonView.cs Line: 367)

You are right, normally, there is no exception at this place.
PUN 2 stores observed scripts as Component and casts those to IPunObservable (line 360). It seems the observed Component is null, which is the error in the logging.
Please modify the logging to not log the component (which is null) but to log the object's name / ID to find which object causes this, so you could hunt down why the Component is null in the first place.
The PhotonViewInspector in the Editor typically makes sure that observed components are actually IPunObservable and non-null. There are a few cases where this gets bypassed:
Are you adding or removing observed Components of PhotonViews at runtime?
Maybe you added a IPunObservable Component to the PhotonView observed list but then modified the code and removed IPunObservable?
