I still would find such a display a bit confusing.

If the purpose of such a temporary display is to make the export render
the structure of the narrowed buffer as if it was a top-level subtree,
then I agree this is useful.  You can already achieve this by selecting
the whole narrowed subtree (with transient-mark-mode on) and exporting
the region.

But maybe a narrowed tree should be considered as a selected region by
default...
