It's probably due to my heavy use of git cherry-pick, rebase, and rebase -i. I couldn't reproduce this with a test that mimics that workflow, so either it has been fixed already, or it's a little more subtle.
I don't think you should change anything to avoid this. I'll keep an eye open for this, and if it happens again I'll fix it locally and send a proper bug report to the git mailing list.
