Error: portal account owner must have a role

I have some test code that creates a portal user. The insert fails with the message "portal account owner must have a role".  

 

The owner of the Account and Contact has a Role, so I'm not sure what to do with this message.  

 

Anyone know how this can be fixed?

Solved this.  The problem was the Contact's AccountId field was not being populated.  The error message was a little misleading in this case.
