In other words, wouldn't something like the illustration at the end

header without any patch or patchbreak, we may reach EOF with
something in mi->in_line_header buffer and nothing in
mi->log_message and without this function getting any chance to
return 1, so a careful caller may want to flush in_line_header, but
the overall result of the mailinfo subsystem in such a case would be
an error ("you didn't have any patch or a message?"), so it may not
matter too much.

Noted. (This was one of my concerns - that the caller should, but did not, flush.)

What am I missing?

handle_commit_msg(...)
{
        if (mi->in_line_header->len) {
                /* we have read the beginning of one in-line header */
                if (line->len && isspace(*line->buf))

This would mean that a message like the following:

  From: Me <m...@example.com>
    -- 8< -- this scissors line will be treated as part of "From"

would have its scissors line treated as a header.

The main reason why I reordered the checks (in RFC/PATCH 1/3) is to avoid this (treating a scissors line with an initial space immediately following an in-body header as part of a header).

(If this is not a concern then yes, I agree that the way you described is simpler and better.)

                check_header(mi, mi->in_line_header, ...);
                strbuf_reset(&mi->in_line_header);
