"git config -l | grep stash" doesn't print anything.
Interestingly, the command 'git stash push -- Mk' puts intended and unintended files in stash, but the changes in unintended files (ones not under Mk) stay, while changes in the intended files are gone, as expected.
Clearing all changes and doing 'git stash pop && git stash push -- Mk' reproduces the problem.
