Yes, I hit this often and it's annoying in "sausage making" workflows. Thanks for reporting this issue, I don't know why I didn't think of reporting it myself :) It likely affects a large portion of the users who like to set `rebase.autostash` and rebase.autosquash` in their config, but for some reason they didn't think of reporting it either.
