That is the issue. Thanks for the suggestion! I was confident the problem was in the plugin, not in jenkins core, since switching back to the old plugin was able to make it work again.
I assume this is still a "showstopper" for the release of the 1.466.1 long term support version, since many, many Jenkins users depend on the Git plugin and this bug makes Git plugin 1.1.21 incompatible with previous versions and incompatible with the help which is included with the plugin.
