I am pretty confident that this does not test what you intend to test. 
Notice that $TEST_DIRECTORY is expanded when the script is written. But 
that path contains a blank, and we have something like this in the test 
script:

	#!/bin/sh
	>/the/build/directory/t/trash directory.t7406/bad

If you inject the bug against which this test protects into 
git-submodule, you should find a file "trash" in your t directory, and 
the file "bad" still absent. Not to mention that the script fails 
because it cannot run "directory.t7406/bad".

To fix that, you should use and exported variable and access that from 
the test script, for example:

	write_script must_not_run.sh <<-\EOF &&
	>"$TEST_DIRECTORY"/bad
	EOF
...
	(
		export TEST_DIRECTORY &&
		git -C super submodule update submodule
	) &&
	test_path_is_missing bad
