Does this work if you did
OUT=$( ( (large_git ; echo $? 1>&3) | : ) 3>&2 ) &&
instead?

Hmm, I cannot see "as described above" in your message, but isn't
that talking about a common mistake of turning cmd1 in this pipeline
x=$(cmd1 | cmd2)
into a series of two commands, e.g. (cmd1a && cmd1b) and saying
x=$((cmd1a && cmd1b) | cmd2)
which does make "$((" interpreted as the beginning of arithmetic
expansion?
And the "OUT=$( ((large..." construct seems to be written in order
to avoid that exact issue (notice the SP after "$(").
Puzzled....
