If that is the case, it is a serious problem that we are failing to
record a ref update but not reporting the error. Can you reproduce it?
If so, would you mind instrumenting your build with a few stopping
points to see where it might be going wrong (I would ask you to strace,
but I somehow doubt that is an option on Windows)?

No, but after two funny things, I've decided that the first thing to do is back up the directory, so I can study it later. So next time something funny happens, I'll be better able to reproduce it after putting effort into making it go away.
I have yet to rebuild msysgit myself. Even so, it's not my normal working environment and I have no idea how to fire up a debugger with it.

FYI, I've had fairly good luck using strace with cygwin executables on windows.
No idea if it works with msysgit though....

I think the Windows' tool from Sysinternals called "Process Monitor" would do that.
