Let me try to explain again. I have /d/share/bare, which is a bare repository, and /d/share/repo which is a clone with a relative path to bare/.git/objects in its .git/objects/info/alternates

D:\share is configured as a SMB shared folder. It is accessed using //server/share. I do not clone from this directory, but work directly in it using 'cd //server/share', then performing git operations.

Same result. fatal: bad object HEAD. Tried even using a full (local) path to the objects dir.
