You demonstrate too often, which may be the point of the test, but
looks wrong.

I actually think this should be done as part of the fix to the code
itself, which presumably is a single-liner to tell the "skip when
running delete in packed-refs backend".  IOW, just fix the code and
test how the externally observable behaviour of the code should be
in new tests, in the same commit.
