Yeah this fixes the issue for me. If I add this
static int add_refs_from_alternate(struct alternate_object_database
*e, void *unused)
{
+	fprintf(stderr, "add: %s\n", e->base);
	char *other = xstrdup(make_absolute_path(e->base));
	size_t len = strlen(other);

and

	prepare_alt_odb();
	for (ent = alt_odb_list; ent; ent = ent->next) {
		fprintf(stderr, "for: %s\n", ent->name);
		if (fn(ent, cb))
			return;

then i get
for: in//usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/usr/loca
add: /tmp/a/1/.git/objects/in//usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/usr/loca
fatal: Could not switch to
'/tmp/a/1/.git/objects/in//usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/usr'
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
