The second one is merely a random unauthorized header that is not interpreted in any way by Git. It is merely being confusing by starting with "tree " and having 40-hex after it, but the 40-hex does not get interpreted as an object name, and does not participate in reachability computation (i.e. packing, pruning and fsck). There is not much difference between that and a line of trailer in the commit log message (other than this one is less discoverable).
