So yeah, the most plausible theory to me so far is unluckiness combined
with pre-1.8.4.2. That should be easy to disprove if Henning tells us
his git version.

Henning mentioned it at the very top of his original problem report:

    "(git version 2.2.0)"

Ah, reading comprehension. It pays off.

I'm stumped, then.

Perhaps some new code been added to git-rebase--interactive.sh since
75c69766 which neglects to invoke expand_todo_ids()?

Or, possibly some older version of git is being invoked somehow during
rebase despite his "front end" use of 2.2.0?

Or git_sequence_editor creates conflicting objects?
