If you were too used to git merge, you would have wrote
HEAD before ref1, so that does not sound plausible ;-).

        $ git pull . maint HEAD
        error: no such remote ref refs/heads/HEAD
        Fetch failure: .
	$ echo $?
        1

But worse yet, the above syntax is to create an Octopus, and you
probably did not mean that.

I think the reason why my trial here worked correctly while you
had trouble with it is because I have the send-pack fix from
Pasky last night.
