Just a guess, but does setting uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant to "true"
in the source repo help?

By default, upload-pack will not allow the client to request those
arbitrary blob sha1s. I thought it was _supposed_ to notice this and
complain with a nice error message, but I know I have run into cases in
the past where it does not (but never tracked it down -- this may well
be one of them).
