I don't *think* I'll see it this way - I was doing essentially this prior to introduction of the --prune option, and never saw it then.

I've tried once and saw no problems.  I just realized I should be
saving off all remote refs before doing a remote update --prune again
- next time I see the problem I should be able to rule out everything
for sure.  Sorry I didn't do that sooner.  However, I'm still fairly
sure it's specific to the all-at-once operation of remote update
--prune since I never saw it before that feature, and because once
that command finishes, everything is okay.

Just 47 dangling blobs, 23 dangling trees, and 13 dangling commits.
