Good catch.  (If I understand correctly this was a potential problem
with the previous iterations, too.)

So, before thinking about what APIs git provides, what is the desired
behavior?  It is possible to walk a revision list incrementally (like
"git log" does); should cherry-pick take advantage of that?

. If yes, the "todo list" would have to be in some form that can be
  updated incrementally (something like the original revision range
  with the commits already cherry-picked negated).  This sounds
  complicated to me.

. If no, the "todo list" needs to be fully resolved to start out, and
  then the cherry-pick loop can just walk through it.  In git API
  terms, that means first populating the commit_list (for example
  using a loop that gets revisions and inserts them at the end of a
  commit_list, or by preparing the revision walk with "limited" flag
  set), then walking through it with commit_list APIs.
