This has been spotted and corrected on the development track
already, I think.  It will hopefully be in a future maintenance
release.

If you have a chance, perhaps you can fetch from my tree at
git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git and merge 766cdc41 (t3700: add a
test_mode_in_index helper function, 2016-07-30) to confirm the fix?

Thanks.
