Nope, I was wrong here. It's actually prepare_bitmap_walk() which would
want to clear the pending list, and it does so (it may later re-add
objects in find_objects(), but if it does so, it will definitely
traverse and consume them).

I poked at this a bit, and indeed, the bitmap code is not ready to
handle the caller passing ignore_missing_links (it performs two separate
traversals for the wanted and uninteresting objects, and manipulates
ignore_missing_links itself between the two). It would probably be easy
to change, but I think we should focus on the minimal fix for the bug
you found first.
