But this looks the same as the last round. I think this _does_ end up skipping such packfiles because p->num_objects will be zero. Is it worth having a comment to that effect (or even just an early return) to make it clear that the situation is intentional?

So I actually think we do want an early return, not just when open_packed_index() fails, but also when p->num_objects is zero. -Peff
