Nope - no error messages, nada. The trace output I sent you is absolutely uninformative as well. There is absolutely no visible difference between the version where this works (the previous commit) and the version where it does not, except that in the latter case the files are not written out (or at least not to where they should be written nor to any other place I can find.

If you have any suggestions on how I can help debug this, I am more than willing but not at all familiar with the internal workings of git.
