Yup. If we can clean things up to use update-ref and symbolic-ref properly that would be nice. Re-counting is an independent issue as you say.

Also we may perhaps want to stop using bisect branch but use detached HEAD (but still refs/bisect hierarchy)? This one I am not so sure, but one less reserved name.
