Comment:

 @SergeyBiryukov the patch for this ticket via
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/1115 PR 1115] is
 ready for commit.

 BTW @jrf and I have reviewed it thoroughly through pair programming
 sessions. We decided to generate an error instead of fixing the invalid
 JSON value. Why? Fixing the JSON creates an empty export without knowing
 why it's empty or what happened. The error provides more context, i.e. the
 JSON encoding failed.
