This really should work.

Can you try with

	git-send-pack repository tagname

first?

If that works for you (it really really should, since that's what I do all the time), then the problem is in "get_remote_refs_for_push"..

Oh. Looking at "git-push.sh", I think it is just really really buggy.

It does all this magic to set "x", but then it never uses it, and uses "$@" instead after all. Which it has shifted all away.

How does that thing work at all? Me, I've always used the raw git-send-pack program, so I've never tested it, but obviously others are using it.
