Hiding Components field in field configuration breaks Components page in project admin

Steps to reproduce

1. Hide the Components field in the field configuration for any given project.
2. Go to the project's admin > Components page.
3. Add a component.
4. Refresh the page.

Expected results

The component added in step 3 above is still there.

Actual results

JIRA says "You haven't added any components to this project yet". If you try to add the component again, JIRA says it already exists.

Notes

The component is successfully added with a POST to /rest/api/2/component, but then immediately does a GET to /rest/projects/1.0/project/<key>/component/<component id> which returns 404.
