I for my taste could live without a test because the fix is so obvious.
Given that you have to prepend 'cd "$work_dir"' to *all* the tests, this
really just highlights that for the purpose of this test the name 'trash'
of the regular test directory is just too simple ;)

Of course, it's Junio's draw, and he likes to have tests for fixes that
are submitted.

On second sight, this indeed looks just like an omission and your change
is good.
