sound interesting to test... in my case the file has been in org mode from
the beginning, and to be honest I am unsure I understand "not intended for
that mode". I mean, if I visit plain text files, I guess it does not matter
which mode I invoke, right?

About git -- totally. It's just that unexplained bugs add to the paranoia
feeling.

By the way, I have started to test my theory that the bug has to do with
the file size, but so far I have not been able to reproduce the bug.
