The optimization broke the walk when all changes we adds, assuming the parent was an empty tree. This assumption was wrong. The tree does not have to bee empty, it can contain other trees and blobs.

We could introduce a fixed version later on if we supply an option to select whether to optimize the walk this way. The problem with doing it without an option is that imports from legacy SCMs do not necessarily record file moves as add/removes in direct sucession, but other events may happen in beteens for various reasons.
