Appears to be a bug in git. Seems that it's assuming GIT_INDEX_FILE is
relative to the top of the worktree and not to the CWD.

I think that has always been the case.  You can always specify it as
relative to the top.  Of course, you can use absolute.

I think it *has* always been that way, but is there anything in the
documentation that indicates this is the case? This could well be best
fixed in the documentation.

Hmm, at least GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY also behaves this way.
(OTOH, GIT_DIR does not behave this way).
