One reason why there have been no reports is probably because 99% of people have never heard of gitexecdir nor know what it does.

$ git grep gitexecdir | awk -F : '{print $1}' | uniq Makefile config.mak.in git-gui/Makefile git-gui/macosx/AppMain.tcl git.c

Try googling for "site:git.or.cz gitexecdir"

Basically, seems the only way you could know about it is if you've heard it mentioned on this mailing list and decided to study the Makefile.
