I said I tried cloning from scratch and fetching into an old one over HTTP and succeeded, did I not? So it does not seem to be the case either.

My initial reaction after seeing the two other messages that report failure to grab the tip of the master head was "Perhaps, the usual mirroring delay". But considering that your failure happened way later than when the release material was placed on the server that public servers mirror from (which was around 01:00 US/Pacific), I do not know what to think (especially before my caffeine ;-).
