export_scene.gltf throws exception when Color Attribute is being used

[bachirelkhoury]

Describe the bug
When exporting a scene where a mesh has a Vertex Color Attribute assigned, the Exception is being thrown.

• Blender 4.1: The export_scene works as expected - No issues there.
• Blender 4.2 LTS has this issue.
• Blender 4.2 LTS exception goes away if I delete the Color Attribute then export.
