Thanks, that was a _really_ nasty bug.  :-(

Turns out there's more cases.  Such as if we reload a mark table of
commits (--import-marks) and then try to create a branch from them.
The existing commit will also have a pack_id of MAX_PACK_ID and
we'll go right into the same corruption you saw and fixed here.

I will be pushing your two patches and my additional fixup to
my maint branch tonight.
