My test was on Linux, btw, roughly:

cd / git init cd etc git add resolv.conf

OK. Just a wild guess since you're mingw port guy :-)

I changed offset near the end of setup_git_*_gently, and in turn screwed up prefix calculation. I probably forgot to unset GIT_WORK_TREE while testing. Will work on a test script first before getting back to the patch. I think I can solve the DOS drive case too. Just checking, UNC path is not affected, right?
