Running "git clone master.git copy" sometimes fails if changes are being

In git 1.7.9 I sometimes get one of two fatal error messages. In one of
the cases, git still exits with exit code 0, but the working directory
of "copy" is not updated with the proper files. (See below for the
exact error messages.)
In git 1.7.10 the mirror sometimes ends up in "detached HEAD" state.
Sometimes it prints a warning message. (See below for the messages.)
The following shell scripts can reproduce the problem. I've been using
a 4-core CPU on Ubuntu 11.04. I've compiled Git from source.
The first script, test-git-setup.sh, creates the directory "test-git"
and three git repositories in it: master.git, mirror.git, and committer:

For your convenience, I have now set up a Git repository where you can
get slightly updated versions of the above scripts. The Gitorious web
page is here:
http://git.lysator.liu.se/ceder/git-clone-fail-demo
You can clone it like this:
git clone git://git.lysator.liu.se/ceder/git-clone-fail-demo.git
I have been able to reproduce the problem on Git 1.6.0 as well, so
this is apparently not a recent regression.
The problem can also be reproduces when you clone, push and fetch via
ssh, but it happens a lot less frequently then. See the README file in
the git-clone-fail-demo repository for info on how to reproduce it.
