I tried reproducing the issue (based on the `next` branch, not 2.15, but I do not recall any changes in the submodule area lately), and could not come up with a reproduction recipe, but here is what I got so far, maybe you can take it from here (i.e. either make the test case more like your environment such that it fails, or rather bisect git to tell us the offending commit) ?
