But that is what I am doing. The amended commit IS already
added to the superproject (and pushed to the remote).

Please have a look at my script, this happens here:

# Correct that in the parent too:
pushd parent
git add subm
git commit -m 'Updated subm.'
popd

The commit from before the amend was added to the super
project (but never pushed) but has now been completely
replaced. I still think this is a flaw in git. It shouldn't
not complain and simply push.
