Seems to be a git bug.

1. GIT_DIR=..../linux-2.6-arm.git git cat-file -p 2725898fc9bb2121ac0fb1b5e4faf4fc09014729
   works, so the tree _does_ have this object.
2. objects/27/25898fc9bb2121ac0fb1b5e4faf4fc09014729 doesn't exist, so it
   must be in a pack file.
3. objects/info/packs lists all the pack files.

So the question is why isn't your pull fetching from the pack files.
Lastly:

4. b72c40949b0f04728f2993a1434598d3bad094ea (and some of the others) are
   Linus' commits.
5. 2eaa9cfdf33b8d7fb7aff27792192e0019ae8fc6 is the -rc3 tag.

So either your tree is not up to date wrt Linus' tree, or git is trying
to fetch objects it already has (which would also be a git bug.)

I notice that you're using the ftp URL - have you tried using the http
URL instead?  Maybe git doesn't support ftp URLs?
