OK, thank you for the examples. Indeed, the behavior is not 
well-defined, so let's fix it, especially considering the performance 
difference is negligible.

I've pushed a fix to master, a slightly different version of your patch. 
This will be in Emacs 28.

Regarding doing it in another place, that would be inside 
vc-git-working-revision. Maybe we'll switch to that approach later, 
given that neither Hg not Bzr seem to have exhibited the same problem.

But I went with the "safer" option now.
