Very odd.

Probably not that odd.  "git log" generates the log _for the current
branch_.  So if you had checked out master branch, and invoked "git
log" it would not show the recent commits downloaded to origin/master
by "git fetch".  In other words origin/master and master are two quite
distinct branches; the first is populated by "git fetch", the second
by fast forwarding (at least with our workflow) from some other local
branch (such as origin/master or some topic branch) to master.  That
is why master has no merge commits and therefore a very clean-looking
history.  Which allows you to "git push origin master" from that
branch (which fast forwards to both origin/master and the master branch at SF) 
and
propagate that linear history.
