Thanks for looking over the series. Taking downstream discussion[1][2]
into account regarding test_atexit(), I think I'll let the series
stand as-is.

In the long run, t1509 may need an overhaul, but the current series is
intended to be the minimal possible change (patch [1/3]) to get the
script working again, plus very minor "fixes" (patches [2/3] and
[3/3]) to make it a bit friendlier for the next person who has to
debug a failure in the script.
