When attempting to export an issue with links to XML, the issuelinktype id is missing (see XML snip below). The jsp responsible for generating this (includes/issue/issuelinks_rss.jsp) throws a null pointer exception when attempting to obtain the value for the issuelinktype id.

<issuelinks>
<issuelinktype id="">
<name>Relation</name>
<outwardlinks description="relates to">
<issuelink>
<issuekey id="12559">TIDE-153</issuekey>
</issuelink>
</outwardlinks>
</issuelinktype>
</issuelinks>
