yeeeep, this is bug:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/728

Turns out git fetch of a named remote and just a tree work
differently. The latter only fetches the main branch.

'git fetch <repo> <hash>' is it a thing? Is it something that requires
special server configuration? I remember something similar that wasn't
able to fetch a random commit hash all the time...

The plan was to make a named remote and then fetch it, this should
fetch everything.
