Another possibility is an off-by-one error. The relevant part of fill() looks like:

,----< excerpt from index-pack.c:fill() >
|   do {
|     ssize_t ret = xread(input_fd, input_buffer + input_len,
|                         sizeof(input_buffer) - input_len);
|     if (ret <= 0) {
|       if (!ret)
|         die("early EOF");
|       die("read error on input: %s", strerror(errno));
|     }
|     input_len += ret;
|     if (from_stdin)
|       display_throughput(progress, consumed_bytes + input_len);
|   } while (input_len < min);
|   return input_buffer;
| }
`----

if *(input_buffer + ret) is the last read octet rather than the next empty octet, that would also explain what I see.

Perhaps that call to display_throughput() should have an extra +1?
