This is unrelated to your issue, but I'm wondering what project contains these invalid trees, and how they were created. Zero-padded tree entries can cause "object aliases", ie two trees that have logically the same contents end up with different data (due to different amounts of padding) and thus different SHA1's. It shouldn't be serious per se, but it's somethign that really shouldn't happen. What project does it come from, and how did such a tree get generated?
