I think that's the correct fix for the regression. You are restoring
the original, pre-166ec2e9 behavior for just the HEAD case. I do not
think add--interactive does any other magic between a symbolic rev and
its sha1, except for recognizing HEAD specially. However, if you wanted
to minimize the potential impact of 166ec2e9, you could pass the sha1
_only_ in the unborn case, like this:

That fixes any possible regression from add--interactive treating the
two cases differently. On an unborn branch, we will still say "apply
this hunk" rather than "unstage this hunk". That's not a regression,
because it simply didn't work before, but it's not ideal. To fix that,
we need to somehow tell add--interactive "this is HEAD, but use the
empty tree because it's unborn". I can think of a few simple-ish ways:
1. Pass the head/not-head flag as a separate option.
2. Pass HEAD even in the unborn case; teach add--interactive to
convert an unborn HEAD to the empty tree.
3. Teach add--interactive to recognize the empty tree sha1 as an
"unstage" path.
I kind of like (3). At first glance, it is wrong; we will also treat
"git reset -p $(git hash-object -t tree /dev/null)" as if "HEAD" had
been passed. But if you are explicitly passing the empty tree like that,
I think saying "unstage" makes a lot of sense.
