1. Since I restricted to commits with ^0, and there's only one such
commit, shouldn't rev-list give me what I want? (rev-parse similarly
fails).

No, the ^0 is not restricting anything.  It merely says you want to walk 
through zero parents from the specified commit, but the commit 
specification is ambiguous (3 possibilities exist).

But ^0 can only be applied to a commit, and only one commit matches
aabb.
