The current branch is pushed to the corresponding upstream branch, but
as a safety measure, the push is aborted if the upstream branch does not
have the same name as the local one.

Except that isn't accurate.

   git clone $url
   git checkout -b fix-1
   # do commits
   git push

Does that push the current branch to the corresponding upstream branch?

I see. Then maybe reword to something like this:

The current branch is pushed to a branch with the same name on the
remote, but as a safety measure, the push is aborted if a corresponding
upstream branch does not have the same name as the local one.

In your above example, I'm in centralized workflow, but I can still push 
the fix-1 branch to origin without having to configure an upstream 
branch for it. So this seems to contradict with the currently proposed 
wording:

If you are working on a centralized workflow, then you need to configure
an upstream branch with the same name.
