The claim to the Georgian throne rested with the Gruzinsky line, not the Mouhkrani, which hadn't reigned in hundreds of years. Tsar Paul declared the Treaty null and void and all branches became part of the Russian nobility when Georgia was annexed to the Empire in 1800.
Maria's claim is no better than other members of the family who also descend from a marriage of a dynast and a female Russian noble. Given equality on that point, there are males left that take precedence over her as a female.

Tatiana renounced her rights to the throne as standard practice for a female dynast marrying outside the family. Nicholas II never asked her to renounce the succession. It was well-understood at the time that a marriage to a Bagration prince was not equal, but one of good standing for a female dynast in very distant succession to the throne. Nothing more or less....When Princess Tatiana of Russia married a Prince Bagration she officially lost he admittedly distant right of succession to the throne because it was not an equal marriage.
