Of course, I'd love to have git-p4 work seamlessly for this scenario.
Even Perforce have a KB article on the limitation of the "apple"
filetype with git-p4:

Step 2: Download Git-p4

Recommended version is ermshiperete’s branch, which is available from:

https://github.com/ermshiperete/git-p4

Note: Omit the “git-p4.py25” file, which is an older version that is no longer
needed.
Avoid Kernel.org’s Version of Git-p4

Git’s main source at http://git-scm.com/download and
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ contains an older version of Git-p4
with limitations that ermshiperete’s branch avoids.

I can almost guess _who_ wrote this KB ;)

But this is really frustrating. Why can't people just cooperate to make sure the
version in the main branch is the latest?

I tried your suggested version of git-p4 (at rev 630fb678c46c) and
unfortunately, the perforce repository fails to import. Firstly, there
was a problem with importing UTF-16 encoded files, secondly the
"apple" filetype files are still skipped.
