It doesn't.
Read that email again.
It fails on *untracked* files that are hidden from "git status" and friends by our .gitignore pattern:
*.mbx
added by commit 534066a983df (".gitignore: ignore *.cover and *.mbx")
So when I have those old stale mbx files around, I don't see them, because "git status" will happily say
nothing to commit, working tree clean
with no mention of those old turds.
Really. Try it.

I don't think you actually read my email.
