Stashing staged deletions doesn't work?

Case: Two stashed deleted files were not included. Tried stashing them separately, got an error... See log below:

$ git stash push --include-untracked --pathspec-from-file="C:\Users\GoranW\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp45kyko.tmp" -m "Centralize handling of Haptic Connection"
