I noticed the same thing and 'solved' it the following way,

After pointing the head at the new branch, instead of using,

    git-read-tree -m HEAD && checkout-cache -q -f -u -a

I use,

    git-diff-cache -R -p HEAD | git-apply --index

This simple reverse applies the differences between the previously
checked out tree and the branch we just switched to. Ofcourse the
cache/index has to be up to date before we switch between branches.
