Thanks, I got it now.  And I was able to reproduce the issue locally.

Cloning the original repository does transfer objects which become 
unreferenced in the clone.  But cloning that cloned repository (before 
pruning the unreferenced objects) does not transfer those objects again.  

Just need to find out why.
