Heh. I think I see what's wrong..

Ok, there were no objects that weren't in the reference repo. So far so 
good.

But:

I think this is because of that zero size:

                /*
                 * Minimum size:
                 *  - 8 bytes of header
                 *  - 256 index entries 4 bytes each
                 *  - 20-byte sha1 entry * nr
                 *  - 4-byte crc entry * nr
                 *  - 4-byte offset entry * nr
                 *  - 20-byte SHA1 of the packfile
                 *  - 20-byte SHA1 file checksum
                 * And after the 4-byte offset table might be a
                 * variable sized table containing 8-byte entries
                 * for offsets larger than 2^31.
                 */
                unsigned long min_size = 8 + 4*256 + nr*(20 + 4 + 4) + 20 + 20;
                if (idx_size < min_size || idx_size > min_size + (nr - 1)*8) {

Notice the "(nr - 1)*8" thing. And notice how "nr-1" underflows when nr is 
zero..

I bet it goes away if you remove the "-1", or if you do something like 
this (totally untested!) patch.
