The problem is that in xorp1.conf inside the "bgp" config there
is [export: "test"] statement. During the loading of xorp2.conf, the
first processed configuration delta is the deletion of the policy
statement, but from policy manager perspective it is still in use by
BGP, hence the above error.

The work-around would be to delete first [export: "test"] inside
bgp, commit the change, and then load xorp2.conf.
