I looked at t9801 but I couldn't spot where it cares if the objects
are in a (tiny) pack or stored as individual loose objects.  All the
counting I saw was about rev-list/log output and they shouldn't care.

Are you saying that "git p4" itself breaks unless fast-import always
writes a new (tiny) packfile?  That sounds quite broken, and setting
unpacklimit to 0 does not sound like a sensible "fix".  Of course,
if the test script is somehow looking at the number of packs or
loose objects and declaring a failure, even when the resulting
history in p4 and git are correct, then that is a different issue,
and forcing to explode a tiny pack is a reasonable workaround.  I
couldn't quite tell which the case is.

Puzzled.  Please help.
