Ah, it seems that the lack of remote-tracking branches is unique to
'clone --bare'.  When I compare 'init --bare' with the above (using
Git 2.1.0), the only difference in the resulting repository is that
the the 'init --bare' form doesn't set core.logallrefupdates, while
the form above sets core.logallrefupdates to true.  I'll submit v4
using 'init --bare' and an explicit core.logallrefupdates config.

Cheers,
Trevor
