This looks reasonably sane to me. The only thing I can think of that we're missing is that "git bisect visualize" will still show the refs as "bisect/bad" and "bisect/good".

To fix that, you'd have to ask people to start the bisect by saying "I am bisecting to find a fix, not a breakage." And then you could change the refnames and all of the messages as appropriate.
