If that is a question, then the answer is no.  If that is
rhetorical, then I just do not see how it gives us any safety.

In the end, if you allow "bisect reset" to check out 'main' in the
worktree you used to run bisection, the 'main' branch is checked out
twice, once there, and another checkout in the other worktree.  That
is exactly what "git checkout 'main'" in one worktree while 'main'
is already checked out in another would prevent from happening, no?
