Shawn,
sp/push-refspec definitely needs more work (see below).

No. Not if the name is the same on the local side.
You're right. The documentation of git-send-pack says what you're
saying:
[...]
Until you corrected me, I believed that new branches will never
be created on the remote side unless a full ref is used. That is
I expected that only
git push origin refs/heads/work/topic
would work.
I thought this would be another safety net -- kind of a reminder
not to push the wrong branch by accident.
I still like the idea, but apparently git didn't ever support what
I thought it would.
And I even fixed the behavior to match my expectation in a patch
which made it to spearce/pu:

push, send-pack: fix test if remote branch exists for colon-less
refspec
A push must fail if the remote ref does not yet exist and the
refspec
does not start with refs/. Remote refs must explicitly be
created with
their full name.
This commit adds some tests and fixes the existence check in
send-pack.
sp/push-refspec definitely needs some more work.
