Am I missing something?
Perhaps, but I cannot tell exactly what you are doing wrong.
If you didn't touch lines you did not have to in a way to break indentation and cause "indent with spaces", "am" would not have complained (it only looks at "+" lines).
Attached is a patch based on your patch but removes the unnecessary re-indentation part, and "git am" happily applies it to my tree without complaining. Does it apply for you (obviously to a revision without your patch) cleanly without complaint? Otherwise it could be that whitespace categories that are specified for the file in your local attributes file may be different from mine (i.e. an empty set).

Currently, it's possible to update HEAD with a nonsense reference since no strict validation is performed. Example:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD 'refs/heads/master
