I don't think this paragraph is necessary; using 'test_expect_failure'
is the way to demonstrate a known breakage.
'test_must_fail' should only be used when the failure is the desired
behavior of a git command. (I used the word "desired" here, because
you just used the word "expect" above in the sense that "I expect it
to fail, because I know it's buggy, and I want to demonstrate that
bug")

Nits: couldn't the URL simply be file://$TRASH_DIRECTORY/three ?

There is a write error now, because we have a bug, but after the next
patch the bug will be fixed and we won't have a write error anymore.
