Ok, what should happen instead?

By documenting you mean adding a test, i.e. documenting it for the
developers, not the users.

I inserted a test_pause here and inspect child:
* the submodule is the same as in parent, so this patch is
  just testing it works with submodules the same?
* No, the submodule is not cloned into the child
  at all. So we do not know what do do with the submodule.

However this patch is about making sure the superproject
works out well, without this patch we'd have
$ git -C child pull --recurse-submodules --rebase
fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
which is to be avoided.

Yes I think this is the best way to fix the issue, I thought for some time that
could first check if submodules are initialzed or active, but these
are checks are done afterwards, so this is ok.
