Verify content type exists before importing?

I have a custom profile that has no story content type. When I first used import using the importer bundled with feeds feeds_import\feeds_import.feeds_importer_default.inc the nodes were saved with story type. Consequently when I went to edit an imported node I got the error:

warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'story_node_form' was given in .../includes/form.inc on line 378.

I addressed this by cloning the default node importer and setting the content type setting for the node processor to the type of node I wanted to import.

So, maybe it would be worth pointing this out in the documentation and/or verifying that the content type exists before importing is carried out.

Maybe I missed this in the docs.
