It does not fail when -C HEAD is used.

Specifically I did...

   Modify Makefile.in (random file).
   git commit -a --amend
   <:wq when vi opens, i.e. save without making changes>
   <failure>

   Modify Makefile.in
   git commit -a -C HEAD --amend
   <successful completion>

   Modify Makefile.in
   git commit -a --amend
   <:wq save without making change>
   <failure>
