However, if you then run `git annex uninit` a second time, it goes ahead and deletes the content! That is a bug.

I looked into trying to make uninit always replace the symlink atomically with the file content. It can't be done when using --fast, since it's not possible to atomically replace a symlink with a hard link (AFAIK). It should be possible to do it in the normal mode, but it would require manually constructing a commit, since git does not provide a way to delete a file from the index and commit that staged change without also committing any other changes that are staged -- and uninit should preseve any changes to non-annexed files that the user has staged. So, I don't think atomic operation is the right answer.

Instead, I have made uninit refuse to delete .git/annex/objects unless it's empty, and if objects are still left in there, for whatever reason, it'll fail at the end with a nice message explaining some options. I think this is the right fix because it also avoids uninit removing historical versions of files that were stored in git-annex.g
