Ok, fixed that:

% strace -f -o tracefile git clone --bare ~/devel/project
[...]
fatal: cannot pread pack file: Success from=39395, packfile size=0
[...]
% grep pread tracefile
28635 pread(3,  <unfinished ...>
28635 <... pread resumed> "", 207, 39395) = 0
28635 write(2, "cannot pread pack file: Success "..., 59) = 59
