This is happening because you have apparently set the configuration
variable extensions.worktreeConfig to true. As far as I can tell by
reading the "Configuration File" section of the "git worktree"
documentation and by consulting the commit[1] which introduced
extensions.worktreeConfig, this is working as intended. According to
the "git worktree" documentation, configuration core.bare is no longer
specially filtered out when inside a worktree once
extensions.worktreeConfig is enabled, so you need to move the
core.bare=true setting out of the bare.git/config and into
bare.git/config.worktree to prevent the worktrees from seeing that
setting. Once that's done, you don't need the per-worktree
core.bare=false setting you've been using as a workaround.
