Sorry for a belated review.
I agree with your analysis of the root-cause of the symptom exposed
by new tests in [1/2] and the proposed solution.

Who frees "matches"? At this point matches.nr != 0 so there must be
something we need to free, no?

In the new code, query_refspecs_multiple() uses the result allocated
by match_name_with_pattern() to the results list, taking it out of
query.src without copying, so losing this free() is the right thing
to do---"matches" must be cleared.
And "string_list matches" is initialized as INIT_DUP, so we can rely
on string_list_clear() to free these strings.

Regarding the seemingly duplicated logic in the new function, I
wonder if the callers of non-duplicated variant may benefit if they
notice there are multiple hits, even if they cannot use more than
one in their context. That is, what would happen if we changed
these callers to instead of calling query-refspecs call the "multi"
variant, and if that call finds multiple matches, do something about
it (e.g. warn if they use "the first hit" because they are not
acting on later hits, possibly losing information)?
Here is a minor clean-ups, both to fix style and plug leaks, that
can be squashed to this patch. How does it look?
Thanks.
