Thanks for picking this up, I meant to re-post with improvements.

What you have here is precisely what we observed. But I think one of the
complaints was to say more explicitly "that ref doesn't exist on the
remote", which I think should be the case if we have got to this point
(anything else would have triggered an error in fetch).

I don't have a strong feeling either way, though.
