Actually, I think we can just use the existing config_parse_key()
instead of adding the new function. It adds one allocation and
deallocation, but it's not like this is a performance-critical
codepath that we absolutely avoid extra allocations. After all, we
are still using the strbuf-split thing :-/.
The attached patch shows the updated fix. It needs a preparatory
code move (not shown here) to make git_config_parse_key() available
to git_config_parse_parameter(), though.

Subject: [PATCH] config: reject invalid VAR in 'git -c VAR=VAL command' and
keep subsection intact
The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that
come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed
anything to pass. It also downcased everything in the variable name,
even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which
the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensible manner.
Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable
name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL",
and handles these details correctly. Replace the strbuf_tolower()
call in git-config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct
both issues. git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are
not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a
separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it
takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical
codepath here.
