Sorry for the breakage!
Maybe the commit message could talk a bit about the circumstances when
this happens? Of course, I (and every other reader...) could analyze your
patch to guess what it is that triggers the bug, but it's really a good
use of the commit message to describe it in plain English.

I am unaware of any other commit having a `Fixes:` trailer in the commit
message. In any case, I would have expected `Fixes:` to mention a ticket
or a bug report, not the commit that fixed _a separate_ issue (but
unfortunately introduced this regression).

We can write this in a more canonical way without wasting all that many
lines:
if (s) {
diff_free_filespec_blob(s);
FREE_AND_NULL(s->cnt_data);
}

This does not advance the committer date. Let's just use the helper
function we invented to make this much easier:
test_commit base
This has also the advantage of already tagging the outcome.

Shouldn't this use the `test_must_be_empty` function instead?
How about writing the test case this way:
test_expect_success 'difftool --cached with unmerged files' '
test_when_finished git reset --hard &&
test_commit conflicting &&
test_commit conflict-a a conflicting.t &&
git reset --hard conflicting &&
test_commit conflict-b b conflicting.t &&
test_must_fail git merge conflict-a &&
git difftool --cached --no-prompt >out &&
test_must_be_empty out
