Yes, this one seems to. "$(pwd)/../src" was not handled correctly.
The callchain to this locaiton would look like
parse_pathspec() with prefix="docs/", prefixlen set to 5
-> prefix_pathspec(), &prefixlen passed down
-> prefix_path_gently(), p_len points at the above prefixlen
your "this should fix" patch sets *p_len to 0,
original leaves *p_len as 5.
-> normalize_path_copy_len() with p_len
*p_len is used here.
Why could the test pass for you without it? It doesn't look like a
bug that depended on uninitialized memory or something from the
above observation.
