Even a shell script recreating the issue would be helpful, as it is easier
to turn such a reproducer into a test case than to write the test case
from scratch.

Yes. I looked for existing test cases setting rebase.instructionFormat.
That's where I put the new one.

(I would also have avoided t3404, as it takes 5 minutes to run on Windows
due to its heavily-scripted nature: the shell script interpreter we use in
Git for Windows jumps through all kinds of hoops to emulate POSIX
functionality, and that costs time)

Ciao,
