Reproduction Steps:

1. Start Liferay.
2. Create a new site named "Parent".
3. Create a child site under "Parent" named "Child".
4. Add an asset publisher to a page on "Parent".
5. In the configuration menu of the asset publisher, set the scope of the asset publisher only to the "Child" site.
6. Remove the parent-child relationship by going to Site Settings for the "Child" site and removing the parent site. Note that in Control Panel > Sites that "Child" is no longer listed as a child site of "Parent".
7. Attempt to export the "Parent" site.

Expected Result: Export fails due to PrincipalException. User is instructed on what needs to be changed to fix the error.

Actual Result: Export fails due to PrincipalException.
