I wasn't able to reproduce, but it sounds like there's something special
about this repo (since the dump is not that big, and you said much
larger dumps have succeeded).

Is it possible to make either the fossil repo, or the fast-import input
file available?

If not, since you said it works with 2.14.4, is it possible to bisect in
Git to see when it stopped working? You'll need to be able to build Git
from source.
