I was kind of expecting that (mentioned in the patch submission) but couldn't
see what I was changing by moving the test.

Ah, thanks a lot! I didn't realize there was an automatic -w in the old
location.

Yes, I think adding -w is the easiest solution (after all that's just reverting
to the old behavior). Otherwise the test could be changed to pass arguments by
pointer like the others, but I didn't dare do that in case it was specifically
testing passing by value.
I'll submit the -w ASAP, thanks again.
