yoh@rolando:/inbox/BIDS/Gobbini/Matteo/1002-faceangles$ git annex version
git-annex version: 6.20170101+gitg93d69b1-1~ndall+1

so this one was a run from within singularity neurodebian environment on a centos box. but the same behaviour is if ran using 6.20161231-gc8eeb17da standalone build ran under CentOS natively.

It seems this was probably not a bug in git-annex, as explained in my comments, so done --Joey
