When deleting a reference, it might be that another process already holds the lock on the loose reference file and/or the packed-refs file. In those cases, there is no alternative but for the delete to fail. Verify that in such cases the reference values are left unchanged.
But in fact, when the packed-refs file lock cannot be acquired, the loose reference file is deleted anyway, potentially leaving the reference with a changed value (its packed value, which might even point at an object that has been garbage collected). Thus one of the new tests is marked test_expect_failure.
