new_tree_entry() doesn't zero or otherwise initialize the returned entry, neither does release_tree_entry(). So it is quite possible to get previously released data in a new entry. parse_ls doesn't set entry->versions[0] fields, but it does call store_tree(entry) which looks for this base sha1 and tries to do delta compression with that random object. Reset entry->versions[0] fields to make things more predictable and to avoid surprises here.
