Summary
Fixes an issue reported in #1673
My best guess on how this happened is because of a partial failure on deletion - I had thought that this would be enforced by transactions, but it appears in production it's possible object unlink can go through without the object being fully deleted.
It might also be possible to add this with a listener of some kind, but making this segment a little more defensive might be overall a good idea in general.
Test Plan
Reproduced the issue in a unittest, then make the fix.
