Okay, you used nth_prior in this one.
There is no need to call this function recursively with the branch of
@{-N} substituted because dwim_{ref,log} already replaces it.
I figured that the recursion is because dwim_{ref,log} didn't exist
when this was written.
However, there's one corner-case where @{-N} resolves to a detached
HEAD, in which case we wouldn't get any ref back.

So we parse the nth-prior manually, and deal with it depending on
weather it's a SHA-1, or a ref.
Right.  _This_ is the special case, which the old logic didn't quite
convey.  The end-user version of this is: 'git checkout -' won't bring
you back to the branch if you said git checkout HEAD~1 earlier.

It didn't strike me to use interpret_nth_prior_checkout() directly.  I
was still stuck at interpret_branch_name() returning a positive value.

Looking at this closely once again.
You've already hit the beginning.  What are you continuing?  Take the
example of a compound expression with @{-

@{-1}@{0}
     ^ at is here
     "@{-" is not matched

@{-1}@{0}
^ at is here
"@{-" is matched
What's to continue? at is already at 0

On another note, I think you've fixed a bug: @{-1}{0} was parsing to
the same value as @{-1}@{0} before your patch.

Neat.  I'd set reflog_len to zero and made sure that the last part of
the function wouldn't be executed.  How did you get away without
setting refs_found to 1 though?

I got this part wrong too: I said dwim_log() instead of dwim_ref().
