This is an expected error message if a user was created on the source farm and then post a deployment, the user was removed from the ‘All Users’ list on the source. Now when we try to import the user deletion activity to the destination farm, we get this error message.

Installing the June 09 CU ensures that the error message changes to non-Fatal and the content deployment import job succeeds.
