There is nothing obviously different about my environment.  I'd expect this 
test to fail for everyone that runs the entire test because xfoo3 is not 
cleaned up after this earlier test:

test_expect_success \
        'git update-index --add: Test that executable bit is not used...' \
        'git config core.filemode 0 &&
         test_ln_s_add xfoo2 xfoo3 &&   # runs git update-index --add
         test_mode_in_index 120000 xfoo3'

If anyone ran the test by itself or otherwise skipped the 'git update-index 
--add: Test that executable bit is not used...' test, they would not encounter 
the issue.  However, the normal case is to run all of the tests, so I would 
expect everyone to be tripping over this issue.  If they're not, then that 
itself might be indicative of another bug because clearly that previous test 
just added xfoo3 as a symlink.
