This is very much expected, especially if your patches are not generated with --full-index option, because partial clones cannot on-demand request objects without knowing their full object names to the promissor remote. I do not offhand know if "am -3" codepath, if the full object name is available, is arranged to trigger lazy fetching of the objects, but nobody sane are sending patches with the --full-index option to begin with, so that is academic, I would say.
