It should. And I think git:// should be encouraged over http://, but some people (including me at work) can only come from http://, so...

The difference between git-ls-remote against your repository via git:// and http:// would tell you. Your info/refs in your repo is stale; git http transport is designed to cope with webservers without dirindex, and only uses info/refs to find out what refs you have in that repository. It does not fall back on "wget -r" behaviour simply because it is a mess (you get all sorts of useless links by doing dirindex in refs/ directory, like Name, Last modified, Size, Parent Directory).
Mind enabling hooks/post-update on the master so that update-server-info is run after you push into it?
