I am 99% sure this is a bug; investigating.

Produces a strange error message if run on files that are already in
git:

joey@gnu:~/src/other/git>git ls-files --error-unmatch --others zlib.o zlib.c
zlib.o
error: pathspec 'zlib.c' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?

This can indeed be confusing; it's a result of git-annex using
git-ls-files --others.

joey@gnu:~/src/other/git>git ls-files --others zlib.o fofofofoofof
zlib.o

Since using git-ls-files is so convenient in most ways, all I can
think to do about this is document it.
