Error while restoring soft deleted navigation

[jakobhaerter]

Describe the bug

While restoring a soft-deleted navigation using craft project-config/apply, I got the following error:

error: There was a problem getting the parent element.
Failed to run craft up: exit status 1

I was checking out a different branch and came back to the branch where I created a new navigation.
