I don't think test_must_fail is relevant for &&-chains. Even something
like:

  test_must_fail foo
  bar

or:

  bar
  test_must_fail foo

will both trigger on the &&-chain linter, because it uses a magic exit
code to detect the breakage. I think the problem is just that the
&&-chain linter cannot peek inside subshells, and that's where the bug
was in this case.

I wish we could improve that, but I spend a lot of brain cycles on it at
one point and couldn't come up with a workable solution.
