I'm concerned that this is a sign that the approach I suggested does not
actually work everywhere. I.e., could this be a case where we have some
non-promisor object that points to a sub-object that is reachable from
the promisor pack, but not a direct tip? Before your patch we'd consider
that sub-object a promisor (because we enumerate all of the graph that
we do have and mark each such object), but afterwards we would not.

And I wonder if that confuses pack-objects. Though I think it would
confuse it in the _opposite_ direction. I.e., using
--exclude-promisor-objects would count such an object as not-a-promisor
and would be more inclined to include it in the new pack.

It is curious that this only turns up with GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1, too.
It seems like any such problem ought to be independent of that.

Puzzling...
