This is a bug. If the destination side of a refspec is omitted, and the source side resolves to a ref starting with "refs/heads/" or "refs/tags/" (which I expect it does here), then that ref is used as the destination. I submitted a patch at [0], but it was decided not to pick it up. If Junio and the list decide that it's wanted, I'm happy to resend or revise and resend.
