OK, at this point in time it's my turn to actually verify
that indeed it's NOT the virus scanner:
- generate rebase-heavy activity
- update
- hit issue
- unload virus (~ scanner?? I'm unsure on exact terminology to be used ;-)
- update
- profit!?

Despite trying hard (generating a lot of activity, with different repo
projects even)
I cannot reproduce it in a timely manner,
thus I'll have to wait until repo state has degraded in a sufficient manner
for such a larger repack with that issue to occur again
(probably a matter of weeks).
Once it happens, I will:
- ensure keeping a copy of the entire (problematic-state) repo, and
verify reproducibility of its (copied/preserved) breakage
- unload virus and do other tests
- report back

I guess the best way to trigger it is by ensuring that a lot of loose objects are accumulated, e.g. by running

i=$(date +%s)
j=0
while test $j -lt 9999
do
    echo "test $(($i+$j))" git hash-object -w --stdin
    j=$(($j+1))
done

Ciao,
Johannes
