If you had done nothing, I guess after dgit was migrated, git would
get a retest and then things would pass ? So there would be a small
delay to the git migration.

This sounds quite annoying. I think the right fix is for britney to
tell ci.d.n a set of packages which might migrate. ISTR discussing
that on debian-ci recently.
I don't know exactly what autopkgtest command line rune you are using
but certainly it was designed to be able to run the test suite of one
version against a different version.
