It's not a bug.  Git repositories have only one .git metadata
directory at the root of the repo.  How could git possibly detect
where the repository is, if not by scanning each directory up to the
root for a .git entry?

For a workaround, set GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES (available since 1.6.0),
see git(1).  The next released version will most likely default to not
searching across mount points thanks to commit 8030e44 (Add support
for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM, 2010-03-17).
