On an interesting note, it seems that if I send my actor processor a 
regular non-Persistant wrapped message and then I have the actor wrap the 
message in a Persistent object and send it to itself, it works! The problem 
then appears to be when another actor trie to send it a Persistent message.

Here are some additional details about my setup:

// Setup

ClusterSharding.get(system).start("Streams",
                                  StreamSupervisor.props(),
                                  new MessageExtractor());



//Sending Persistent message

ActorRef region = ClusterSharding.get(system).shardRegion("Streams");
region.tell(new ShardMessage(Persistent.create(props), id), self());



//MessageExtractor returns the first arg of a ShardMessage as the 
entryMessage

public class MessageExtractor implements ShardRegion.MessageExtractor {
    ...
    @Override
    public Object entryMessage(Object message) {
        if (message instanceof ShardMessage) {
            return ((ShardMessage) message).getMessage();
        } else {
            return message;
        }
    }
   ...
}



//StreamSupervisor

public class StreamSupervisor extends UntypedProcessor {
    ...
    public static Props props() {
        return Props.create(StreamSupervisor.class);
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Object message) {
        if (message instanceof Persistent) {
            onMessage((Persistent) message);
        }
    }

    public void onMessage(Persistent message) {
        Object payload = message.payload();

        if (payload instanceof Props) {
            props = (Props) payload;

            // do stuff
        }
    }
    ...
}
