Thanks so much for the detailed analysis, that is appreciated.
To be honest, I have set core.precomposeunicode true globally,
core.quotepath=false, together with settings for
pull.rebase and init.defaultbranch
Because of that, the new testcase passed, and the patch was in
improvement.
However, it would be nice to have the case fixed as well,
where core.precomposeunicode is not set at a global level.
I am happy to provide a patch (a new testcase is already there),
but for a change in the codebase I would need some help from an expert,
to get the config-reading right both for hash_initialized
(that is may be not about the hash-algorithn at all ?)
and precompose.
