If a Parallelism Exchange Event deadlock is victim-less, is it a problem?
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the way the deadlock graph looks when an intra-query parallel deadlock is resolved by an exchange spill (so there is no victim, except performance).
You could confirm this theory by capturing exchange spills and matching them up (or not) to the deadlock.
Writing exchange buffers to tempdb to resolve a deadlock is not ideal. Look to eliminate sequences of order-preserving operations in the execution plan (e.g. order-preserving exchanges feeding a parallel merge join). Unless it's not causing a noticeable performance problem, and you have other things to worry about.

Out of interest, is this problem likely to be exacerbated by high fragmentation/outdated statistics?

Fragmentation, no. Outdated Statistics: not in any specific sense I can think of, no. Of course unrepresentative stats are rarely a good thing generally.
The fundamental issue here is that parallelism works best when there are as few dependencies between threads as possible; preserved ordering introduces rather nasty dependencies. Things can easily get gummed up, and the only way to clear the logjam is to spill a bunch of rows held at exchanges to tempdb.

Note
Intra-query parallel deadlocks no longer generate xml graphs when the deadlock can be resolved with an exchange spill, following a fix released for Cumulative Update 10 for SQL Server 2017 and Cumulative Update 2 for SQL Server 2016 SP2.
