This would be my guess as well.  If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is being relied
upon though, a more stable solution would be to rebuild git with
"-Wl,-rpath /path/containing/libiconv" in the LD_OPTIONS environment.
That would remove the need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime.  Any other
libraries linked in non-standard locations should also have a similar
option if the path to the library differs.

HTH.
