All that "set-url --push --add" does is adding a remote.foo.pushurl
entry to the config. If there was none, there will be one after that.

If there is no pushurl entry, "push" takes the url entry instead. This
is the "default URL for push", but not a pushurl entry.

It seems to me that everything works as designed, and that the man page
talk about "push URLs" can be read in two ways, one of which is correct
(and which is obvious if you know the above, i.e. the "config
background") and one of which is incorrect (and which may be obvious if
you read just that man page paragraph).
