I didn't test, but yes, almost certainly. The bug was in list-objects.c,
which is used by pack-objects to generate the list of objects to pack,
as well as to build the bitmaps. So not only would it have corrupted the
bitmaps, a `git repack -ad`[1] would have dropped the object completely,
corrupting the repository!

[1] git-gc uses `repack -Ad`, of course. So assuming you had packed more
recently than 2 weeks ago, it would have just been ejected to a
loose object. Small comfort. :)
