There is, but you have to stop using the nice OPT_CALLBACK macro and do
a full-on "{}" struct literal in the options. Since we have a callback,
I figured doing this is less ugly to look at. But it does mean making up
our own message.
I didn't actually try it yesterday; having just done so, it's a lot less
bad than I expected. And I also noticed yet another problem with it. :-/
How about this as a replacement patch?

Subject: [PATCH] checkout-index: disallow "--no-stage" option
We do not really expect people to use "--no-stage", but if
they do, git currently segfaults. We could instead have it
undo the effects of a previous "--stage", but this gets
tricky around the "to_tempfile" flag. We cannot simply reset
it to 0, because we don't know if it was set by a previous
"--stage=all" or an explicit "--temp" option.
We could solve this by setting a flag and resolving
to_tempfile later, but it's not worth the effort. Nobody
actually wants to use "--no-stage"; we are just trying to
fix a potential segfault here.
While we're in the area, let's improve the user-facing
messages for this option. The error string should be
translatable, and we should give some hint in the "-h"
output about what can go in the argument field.

I also notice that you cannot use "--stage=0" to reset a previous
"--stage=1". It probably would not hurt to allow that, but I left it out
of this patch.
