It starts sounding like that the ill-thought-out warning should be ripped out regardless of what other things we do.
ISTM that the warning is proving its worth already by illuminating some questionable practices (treating any file in $GIT_DIR as a potential reference) :-) However, it might be that fixing 100% of the questionable practices is too much work. In that case, I suggest that the warning not be ripped out altogether, but rather that the warning only be emitted for invalid references whose names start with "refs/".
