Approval step ApprovalStep references UserQueue, which doesn't exist as a queue

 When attempting to deploy an approval process from one org to another, I receive the following error:

Approval step Supervisor_Approval references Supervisor_Approval, which doesn't exist as a queue

However, Supervisor_Approval exists as a queue. I am able to view it in Setup -> Manage Users -> Queues and use it if I create a new approval step in a new approval process.

I get the same error using the MetaData API and Change Sets.  The approval process is the only item included in either the package or the change set.

Seems like this is a known bug as per this post https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000kz55AAA

This link is not a link to a known issue.  It appears to be a link to an 'idea.'  None of the known issues linked to in the 'idea' actually reference either my problem or the problem described in the 'idea'.  I found this myself when googling the error message and it lead nowhere.

I have just encountered this same issue when trying to deploy approval processes on Knowledge Articles from sandbox to production. The queue already existed in production, and I even tried including it in my change set as well, but got the error saying that my queue did not exist. I don't know if there is an issue because the queue was for Knowledge Article Version and the Approval process was for an actuall article type, but I can't find anything online that might explain why this would be a problem. 
Due to time constraints, I will likely just do a manual deploy of the approvals, but I'd love to hear if anyone figures this one out.

I am experencing same issue, my approval rule step references to a queue, the error message is alwasys "Approval step <step name> lreferences <queue name>, which doesn't exist as a queue ", but it is not true.
I have to deploy  approval rule manually to production, the problem is we have 3 approval rules, each one has 29 steps... a lot of manual work. 
it changeset can fix this bug, it would be very helpful.

So rather than waste a lot of time manually deploying a bunch of approval processes, I found that it took less time to just change the approvers in the processes to NOT be a queue, push via change set, then change the approvers back to the queue once it was in production. Hopefully this will be fixed at some point.
