Pull and fetch don't honor `--progress` flag

When I use the `--progress` flag with the push command, I get transfer-speed statistics like this:

    $ git push -progress origin master 2>&1 | tee /tmp/push
    Counting objects: 30, done.
    Compressing objects: 100% (20/20), done.
    Writing objects: 100% (30/30), 9.02 MiB | 206.00 KiB/s, done.
    Total 30 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

This also works similarly with clone:

    $ git clone --progress "$url" foo.git 2>&1 | tee /tmp/clone
    Cloning into 'foo.git'...
    remote: Counting objects: 61, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (43/43), done.
    remote: Total 61 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0)
    Receiving objects: 100% (61/61), 15.22 MiB | 473.00 KiB/s, done.
    Resolving deltas: 100% (3/3), done.
    Checking connectivity... done

However, even though pull and fetch also have the same flag documented, git never reports any network statistics at all. For example:

    $ git pull --progress origin master 2>&1 | tee /tmp/pull
    remote: Counting objects: 5, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
    remote: Total 3 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)

This is repeatable with both Git 1.7.9 and Git 1.8.4.1 running under Cygwin. Is this a bug? If not, how can I make fetch and pull cough up throughput statistics?
