If we try to parse objects which don't exist it may be because we are trying to force deletion of a ref exactly because the object the ref currently refers to has been pruned from the object database already. Rather than fail with an exception we should still permit the removal. This also fixes the breakage in the unit tests introduced by Charles' 5a318367 "Refactor of RefUpdate force ...". One of the unit tests for RefUpdate is using a bad ObjectId as the new value for the ref, and uses forceUpdate to hammer it into the ref database anyway, even though it is not valid as the object does not exist.
