This feels wrong to me. fast-import probably won't be adversly

It feels like we're fixing this in the wrong place. If the issue
is we don't find our installation directory correctly, we should
find our installation directory correctly, not work around it by
calling builtins through the git wrapper.
Though I can see where it may be a good idea to at some point
in the future (git 1.7?) stop creating the redundant builtin
links under libexec/git-core.
I agree; that is why I already applied Steffen's original patch with
quite
a different justification from the updated one:
commit b048b9a803f48d88595877271b53bf9ec400e4ba

run-command (Windows): Run dashless "git <cmd>"
We prefer running the dashless form, and POSIX side already does
so; we
should use it in MinGW's start_command(), too.
Thanks for reading my mind ;-) This was the alternative justification
I had in mind after reading my patch again.
