Ok, this new version addresses my questions.
The patch works for me (nothing to compile, the added tests pass).
I recommend its inclusion as it tests corner cases especially about
permissions and error conditions, some of which may have security
implications if they were to fail some day. So this is a good thing.
The above remark applies to all systematic but not redundant regression
tests submitted. If the overall test was to be deemed too long and slow
for developers, I would suggest to have a two-tier system with basic and
fast tests for devs and longer tests for the build farm.
