Sending a private message to a user who is not a connection results in portlet temporarily unavailable.

1. Add a new user. Do NOT add as a contact. Do NOT add the SO role to the user.
2. Go to Private Messaging portlet.
3. Click to add a new message.
4. Select to send the message to the created user.
5. Click Send.

When the page refreshes, it is blank with a message that says "Portlet is temporarily unavailable" and there are exceptions in the console.
