git-worktree doesn't presently recognize --orphan, though it would be nice if it did. In fact, I clearly was thinking of --orphan (along with -b, -B, and --detach), when I wrote the implementation, as can be seen from the commentary in one of the original patches[1]. That --orphan never got added was either due to an oversight or it was one of those "we'll add it when someone actually needs it" deals.
