IIRC it's like a Wilcoxon 2-sample test, except that the ranks are
transformed to normal scores. If that's the right test, it has ARE 1 vs
the t-test (it has good power for small deviations), but as you move to
larger deviations, its power curve flattens out short of 1.
Checking the internet:

tests and their two-sample extensions. Ann. Math. Statist. 37 1966

it would just about have to be one of these two papers.
