I figured out the problem I had when testing the patched egit plugin. If I had installed egit from the update site I had to do more than just delete the jars -- I had to delete the whole feature from within Eclipse -- and then install the new plugin built from source.
In figuring this out I ended up testing the original problem with the master branch from earlier today and didn't see the issue I originally reported.
Did you already integrate the experimental patch?
Here's a documentation patch:
