I can reproduce the problem here. But after staring at the strace for a
long time, I don't think the problem is on the client side. The remote
end _does_ hang up unexpectedly.

Looking at what we send, the only difference between the redirected and
unredirected case I could find is that we send the "no-progress" flag to
the server, which then hangs up on us instead of sending us the pack.
Which makes no sense.
