Based on your silence I too thought that you had agreed.

As discussed in that thread, it's not really the same thing as a refspec used in push or fetch. In those commands, the refspec specifies two separable things: what to transfer, and how to translate refs names between the remote and local repositories. IIUC, the fast-export --refspec argument only specifies how to translate ref names, not what gets transferred.

If my understanding is correct, then I agree with Junio and Peff that --refmap is a better name.
