Whoa, I somehow overlooked the "can't". Sorry.

I inserted a `git diff-files` here, and it printed exactly what I
expected:
++ git diff-files
:160000 160000 62cab94c8d8cf047bbb60c12def559339300efa4 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M sub

There must be something else going wrong that we did not replicate here.
Maybe the `error: cannot rebase: You have unstaged changes.` message was
caused not by a change in the submodule? Could you run `git diff-files`
before the rebase?
This does *not* refresh the index, but maybe that is what is going wrong;
you could call `git update-index --refresh` before the rebase and see
whether that works around the issue?
Ciao,
