And indeed, this is the culprit:

-- snip --
BFD Index
*********

^@^H[index^@^H]
* Menu:

-- snap --

Note the NUL characters?

Now, the thing is: git format-patch still outputs it correctly.  But 
git-rebase pipes the output to git-am, which in turn calls git-mailsplit, 
which suppresses that line.

Will keep you posted,
