As listed, your script produces the same results on msysGit.

It appears the issue is related to sparse checkouts:

---%<---
#!/bin/sh

rm -Rf utest || exit 1
mkdir utest || exit 1
cd utest || exit 1
git init
git config core.sparseCheckout true
echo *>.git/info/sparse-checkout
echo tracked>a
git add a
git commit -m a a
git branch side
echo tracked>b
git add b
git commit -m b
cat b
git checkout side
cat b
echo untracked>b
cat b
git checkout master
cat b
---%<---
