This is the problem, and Jonathan's guess was correct that 136c8c8b8f
(color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13) is related.

Re-reading that commit message, I'm inclined to say that the commit
isn't wrong, and that setting color.ui to "always" has always been a bad
idea. Of course, I also wrote that commit message, so I may be biased. :)

What led you to setting color.ui to "always" in your config?  The more
usual value is "auto" (which is also the default these days).
