Hmm, is it really a bug in Git if you had to add new code which contains the bug? :)

The parent "path" strbufs are only initialized in intersect_paths() if combined_all_paths is set, and if there was an actual path change (a copy or rename).

So you'd probably need something like this:
diff --git a/combine-diff.c b/combine-diff.c
index 455bc19087..1e58809c4e 100644
--- a/combine-diff.c
+++ b/combine-diff.c
