It would help if you could bisect this to the first broken commit (or at least one version that works). git-pull was rewritten in C in 2.6.0, so this could be a regression. If you try a version before that and the problem remains, then it's not the git-pull rewrite. Another suspect is c056261 (git potty: restore environments after alias expansion - 2014-06-08), since v2.1.0.
