It's not with any particular commit. It occurs with a fresh clone or at any other point, regardless of any changes I've made, what branch I'm on, or anything else I could think of testing.

The patch does indeed fix it.

Additionally, now that I see the output of a successful run right after a failed one, it appears that git-status is dying before listing untracked files. It will output the "Changed but not updated:" section, but then die before getting to "Untracked files:".
