It seems marginally better to me. I also noticed a clean-up patch
going by that aggressively switched to test_must_be_empty wherever
possible: https://public-inbox.org/git/20180819215725.29001-1-szeder.dev@gmail.com/

OTOH, if it were up to me I would have just gotten rid of
test_must_be_empty and used an existing function with the right
argument, like `test_cmp /dev/null` - but using some form consistently
is the most important, whatever it is.
