No worries, your reflog is still intact :)  It's just the reflog
walker stopping prematurely upon encountering the null sha1 of the new
root commit's reflog entry.  Patch follows in a minute.

Of course you still won't be able to list the reflog right after 'git
checkout --orphan', because HEAD is invalid.  You have to create a new
root commit or switch to an existing branch first.
