Does this indicate that we need to update how the command line safety in verify_working_tree_path() works in a sparsely checked out working tree? If foo/bar is outside the sparse definition,

    git blame HEAD foo/bar
may get such a message, but shouldn't
    git blame HEAD -- foo/bar
make it work?

IOW, why is it a good idea to drop the "TODO" and "currently" and pretend as if the current behaviour is the desirable one?
