"breaks" because "the branch flipping rebase internally does is not
'checkout' as far as the end user is concerned", which essentially
is the tautology with the first part "should never write".
I would say
The branch flipping rebase internally does is not 'checkout' as
far as the end user is concerned; rebase should never write
"checkout: " messages to the reflog. Instead it should say
"rebase: checkout master".

That is not a defect; it did not have to so far, until this patch.
I suspect doing 6/6 before this patch may make more sense.
