The request client makes to probe is (taking it from Peff's message that is quoting from your trace):

> > GET /p/git-backend/run/1/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1

Your manual CLI call seems not to have "?service=git-receive-pack" anywhere. Where did it go? QUERY_STRING, perhaps?

Here is what I am observing:

    $ GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL=Yes \
    > REQUEST_METHOD=GET \
    > GIT_PROJECT_ROOT=$(pwd)/.git \
    > PATH_INFO='/info/refs' \
    > QUERY_STRING=service=git-receive-pack \
