That's a serious problem for Emacs, so please report these as bugs.
I use the kind of "stgit" setup you describe on Debian testing machines
and have none of the problems you describe, so my guess is that Fedora
is a bit more "bleeding edge" and the Emacs code gets adjusted for the
new libs before they reach Debian testing.

Maybe we should have a "bleeding edge Fedora" build VM in EMBA to catch
those problems?
