I can see the same misbehaviour when I run
$ git -c submodule.recurse=false fetch --recurse-submodules
too, so I think it doesn't have necessarily something to do with
the 'submodule.recursive' config, but with 'recurse submodules'
in general.

This is interesting.  There are several testcases using
"--recurse-submodules".  Have you tried, whether any of these trigger?

The test suite passes.
