Isn't this an indication that something *VERY* wrong is happening? How do you explain to POSIX people that you have just pulled the rug unter their feet?

$ git notes merge --commit $ git notes fatal: Unable to read current working directory: No such file or directory

I doubt that the use-case that is tested here makes sense.

Or .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE should not be removed. Would it be an option to clear it out only when it is needed, right before it is filled again?
