The test suite passes.

This is what I experienced.  Thus it is important to get your case into
the test suite.  Could you please send us a command sequence how to
create your repository structure from scratch, so that a test case can
be created?  - Of course, if you want, you can also create a test case
on your own.

It can be reproduced with the following sequence of commands:

git init sub
cd sub
touch file
git add file
git commit -m "add file"
cd ..
git init main
cd main
git submodule add ../sub
git submodule init
git submodule update --checkout
git submodule deinit -f sub/
git fetch --recurse-submodules
