Exception on space activity tab for anonymous users when page permissions applied

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a page in a space with page view restrictions. Ensure it appears in the most popular content list under Browse Space, Activity.
2. Grant anonymous access to Confluence.
3. Access the Browse Space, Activity page as the anonymous user.
4. NullPointerException on the page, with the following stack trace in the log file.

Note: removing the page restrictions does not fix the problem, they are permanently in the index.
