Still looking, but definitely some kind of skew problem. Reverting the
patch above and doing this also works:

diff --git a/builtin/name-rev.c b/builtin/name-rev.c
index 06a38ac..198e04d 100644
--- a/builtin/name-rev.c
+++ b/builtin/name-rev.c
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@
 #include "refs.h"
 #include "parse-options.h"
 
-#define CUTOFF_DATE_SLOP 86400 /* one day */
+#define CUTOFF_DATE_SLOP (60*86400)
 
 typedef struct rev_name {
 	const char *tip_name;

but a 59-day slop does not.
