I was able to reproduce this one one of the machines I have access to, and bisecting shows that it was introduced by b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked symlinks). This makes sense, since home-dirs are symlinks on the machine I was able to reproduce it on.
Hopefully this helps someone with a little stronger fu, to point them in the right direction.
Randal, does your machine have a similar symlinked $HOME setup?
