The configured upstream is the value of branch.<name>.merge, isn't it?
That would be the name of a remote, not the name of a branch.

Right; the '<name>' in 'branch.<name>.merge' is your local name for a
branch, but the value of that configuration is the remote's name.

Sorry, I was misreading branch.<name>.merge as branch.<name>.remote.
Now it makes all sense to me.
