Yeah, that seems by far the most likely of those three. And indeed,
running with GIT_TEST_INDEX_VERSION=4 causes even t0000 to fail with the
same problem. A minimal reproduction in git.git is just:

  make SANITIZE=undefined
  git clone . tmp
  cd tmp
  rm .git/index
  export GIT_INDEX_VERSION=4
  ../git reset --hard ;# ok, writes v4 index
  ../git reset --hard ;# fails reading unaligned v4 index

So it seems like a problem with the v4 format in general. Which...yikes.
