No, that's pack-objects on the client.

Its freaking weird. I don't know why a server side upgrade would cause this on the client side.

FWIW, in 1.6.1 the only mention of those bad object messages
is inside revision.c.  I can't see why we'd get one of those
by itself.  I would have expected messages from deeper down
too, like from sha1_file.c.
