No. I reran the following in a brand-new account
on my system, as well as on another system altogether
(that claims to be Debian 4.0), just to be sure:
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils.git cu && cd cu && ./bootstrap
Both times, it succeeded.
However, the log showed differences from yours.
Your log has the following "overrides" lines, while mine don't:

...

That probably comes down to the use of version_controlled_file()
in bootstrap's slurp function, and makes me wonder if our differences
are due to your using a version of git for which "git-rm -n file"
doesn't do what version_controlled_file expects it to.
I've tested the following versions of git:
1.5.3.rc1.27.ga5e40
1.5.2.4
1.4.4.4
E.g., from a git-cloned coreutils work area,
"git-rm -n doc/.gitignore" should exit successfully.
Does that work for you?
