Yes, this should be allowed IMO.  The target import files are
effectively declarative and evaluation of dependencies should
be lazy.

It wasn't that long ago that we started supporting dependent
exports, so there could be plenty of packages that do not
modularize their target exports even if they provide COMPONENTS.
ITK is one.
