This one-liner below fixes it, but I haven't yet made up my mind about whether this is the right fix or whether there could be any fallout (at least the test suite doesn't show any).

  $ ./git -C WT/ rev-parse --git-path logs/refs --git-path logs/refs/
  /home/szeder/src/git/.git/logs/refs
  /home/szeder/src/git/.git/logs/refs/
