MS Merge: Doesn't work when an old annotation entry is used as one of the experiments

[sena]

I tried to merge NGlycans-A and NGlycans-C from the demo workspace. I've opened NGlycans-A with the latest version but haven't opened NGlycans-C. I see the following exception in the log file and no merge report entry is created.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Afterwards, I opened the NGlycans-C annotation entry and opened the annotation table and tried the merge again. Everything worked fine.
