This is not export to launchpad. This is export *from* LP, only
exporting part of the branch.

bzr help export:

Usage: bzr export DEST [BRANCH_OR_SUBDIR]

It is the same root cause. Branch.open_containing on LP throws a
permission error if it points "below" a branch, and bzr stops searching
up when it encounters this.

Thanks,
