How unfortunate.

Quite so.
Unfortunately it is not so easy to do this right. We have a private
tree but must choose which git config settings to inherit and which to
override.
This mostly works, but for settings where
git config --local --add $key
breaks, it doesn't. We have to manually add those with
git config diff.noprefix 0
(in this case).
Thanks for the report!
