 I find the design a bit iffy in that our usual "missing in the
 working tree?  let's use the latest blob" fallback is to take it
 from the index, not from the HEAD.

I am not sure; why does it feel iffy?

Why doesn't it?  There is no justification why it has to be
different from others and read from HEAD bypassing index.
