I'd be happy to keep working on this. In fact, I think I have a patch
for this ready. But just to clarify:

Do you mean that install_branch_config should continue to emit a
warning in the "side effect" case? I'm not sure I agree--how is "git
branch -f --track foo foo" less erroneous than "git branch -u foo
refs/heads/foo"? Perhaps I'm missing some insight on how "--track" is
used.

The tests appear to already cover all instances in which
install_branch_config is called, and bumping the warning to an error
does not cause any test failures.
