Of course this assumes that the UX for creating backup keys exists, and that people actually do that---but it's possible in principle.The backup key is useless in that scenario if you cannot export it to another TPM, and isn't preventing such an export the whole point of the TPM technology?
Of course, the primary private key cannot be extracted from the original TPM. The easiest key recovery scheme would have two encrypted copies of the media encryption keys, one encrypted with the TPM-secured key and another encrypted with the backup/recovery key that you keep in a separate 'enterprise' key backup system. Here's one paper describing TPM key backup/recovery:
