System Information
Windows 10, GTX 970

Blender Version
Broken: All

Short description of error

I don't know exactly if this is a bug, or this need to be like this. But working with animal rigs doesn't work for FBX export at all.
Attaching file to test it. Fox.blend

I need to copy the rig, leave only deform bones with constraints, then disconect bones I believe also to uncheck inherit rotation and scale for all the deformation bones. And then after exporting to FBX, it's working. Sadly without hierarchy, and it's extra work. Can this be fixed, so We can use animal meta rigs in Unity, Unreal ?

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Add meta wolf rig, generate, make an animation and export to FBX, and see all the errors.

Advanced rigs are basically not supported by FBX, they use piles of complex relations between bones (constraints, drivers, etc.) that are totally impossible to export through FBX. We try to 'bake' all bones' movements instead for exported actions, but that only works to some extent, nothing much to be done here am afraid, besides staying away from anything but basic hand-made armature.
