What happens if a ref cannot be resolved, for example due to repository
corruption? Does git just emit an error and then carries on, or does it
always die? Can I run at least git-fsck in such a case?

Moreover, if I specify sha-1 in the config (it's discouraged but not
forbidden from the code), can git-prune remove the blob?

Yes. I don't think we want to get into connectivity guarantees for
config (because they can be quite complex, and involve files totally
outside the repo). I think it's OK for the user to be responsible for
either using a ref, or making sure that a bare sha1 they point to is
reachable from a ref.
