Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but at the time that last "git
co master" was issued:

The file is locally modified.
The file is different on the current branch (foo) than on the branch to which
I am switching (master).

Wrong. On branch foo as well as on master the same old file1.txt is 
committed. You never staged nor committed the new file1.txt anywhere.

The command fails to refuse to switch branches.
