I'll wait a bit with doing that then since it appears that this rejection might be the behaviour I want from it -- am using the devel branch specifically due to it only being rebased at releases. Okay, thanks again, I get it. Things work again without anything special after a "git remote rm tiwai, git remote add tiwai <url>" cycle. That's ofcourse pretty horrible though. Really convinced by now that public repos that downstream users might have pulled should just not be rebased. Okay, the once per cycle as with that devel branch is probably okay but in essence any tree you rebase becomes a throw away tree that noone other than your upstream has any use for longer than once. I'll keep the question on the GIT list outstanding due to the difference with "git pull" which I do still find unexpected.
