Thanks for the report.

This is a known and documented behavior. The description of the `-h`
option in the `ls-remote` help page:
Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively. These
options are not mutually exclusive; when given both, references
stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are displayed. Note that git
ls-remote -h used without anything else on the command line gives
help, consistent with other git subcommands.
