A further detail on this (Owen correct me if I'm wrong), but the same
clone performed to a local disk, rather than NFS, succeeds.

Bitbucket Server developer here. I just want to clarify one thing
here, for the list. The above is logged when the cloning client
disconnects unexpectedly in the middle of a hosting operation (push or
pull). So, from the server's perspective, everything was going well
and then the client left without saying goodbye.
