Improperly handled Relationships bulk insert exception

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a file to import multiple Relationship records, including one record 
where a Contact ID points to a deleted Contact record
2. Attempt to import this file (examples below are with DemandTools) with a 
batch size >1

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Currently, the entire import batch that includes the record with the deleted 
Contact ID fails to import. I would expect that only the single problem record 
would fail to import.

Workarounds: 
1) use a batch size to one (OK for small imports)
2) carefully vet the import list to be sure there are no lookup problems 
(multiple steps involved)

DemandTools log sample:

[every record in the batch that fails looks like this]
