HEAD is per worktree, so other worktrees' HEADs should not be included
in "--all", I would think.

Since HEAD is per worktree, its reflog is so, too. So I think that "git
rev-list" is actually right.

What's worrysome is that running "git prune -n" gives different results,
depending on whether you run it in the main worktree or the new worktree.

In fact, running "git prune" in the main worktree followed by "git
reflog" in the new worktree results in

fatal: bad object HEAD

So, "rev-list" should learn something like "--reflogs" or (better)
"--worktrees" to make it look at worktree specific refs, too, and prune
should use that, of course. "prune" does know about worktrees, but I
guess it looks at HEADs only, not their reflogs.
