Er, why isn't this an actual test? Then, hopefully, people testing
their patches will say "oh, it makes a test fail", and patch
themselves in. Smokes will fail, and people will fix it.
Keeping it out of t/ will make it not fail for people who don't know
what they're doing, so perhaps there should be a Configure flag or
just make that test only run on bleed. OTOH, I'm not sure making it
fail for everybody isn't the right thing to do anyway.
