I tried figuring out what the subtlety is by undoing the check you
describe, and did get a segfault in one of the tests, but couldn't
figure out exactly what is going on. Looking at the code, is it because
load_tree_for_commit() in commit-graph.c uses the return value of
lookup_tree() indiscriminately (which is the issue that this patch
fixes)?

This patch itself and patch 1 looks good (with the reasoning in the
commit message), of course.
