"unusual" -> "invalid". It is just like Git does not immediately complain until "git fsck", "git repack", or otherwise "git" tries to use the object if you corrupted loose object files under .git/objects/??/ directories. Detecting such a problematic pack early before the problem spreads is a very welcome change.
