test-file is still i-t-a in the index ...

so 'add -N' does nothing ...

If the last test was successful then test-file is already in the index 
and 'add -N' has no effect, 'apply --index' will fail wether or not it 
rejects i-t-a entries.

I think you should fix this by adding

   test_when_finished git read-tree --empty

(or possibly 'git reset' if that works correctly when HEAD is invalid) 
to each test in this file
