After doing (something like) the above, running "git push --mirror"
to various Git repositories shows their slightly different
behaviour.

The most intriguing one was github.com:gitster/git.git repository.

To github.com:gitster/git.git
 ! [remote rejected] jk/transfer-limit-protocol -> jk/transfer-limit-protocol 
(failed)
 ! [remote rejected] ls/p4-lfs -> ls/p4-lfs (failed)
 ...
 ! [remote rejected] pu -> pu (failed)
 ! [remote rejected] broken -> broken (failed)
 ! [remote rejected] jc/fsck-dropped-errors -> jc/fsck-dropped-errors (failed)
 ! [remote rejected] kn/for-each-branch -> kn/for-each-branch (failed)

After removing the broken branch, retrying "git push --mirror
github.com:gitster/git.git" was successful.  I didn't dig further
(it didn't reproduce with a pair of toy local repositories).

It is puzzling that it is behaving as if I am trying to perform an
atomic push and rejection of "broken" is causing everything else to
be rejected or something like that.

Perhaps GitHub has a pre-receive hook to reject such nonsense?
