I cannot yet enter the minds of each test author back this much in
time, but I think that's a mix of both.  When working on a new
isolation spec, I personally tend to do a lot of copy-pasting of the
same queries for multiple sessions and then manipulate the
permutations to produce a set of useful tests.  It is rather easy to
forget to remove some steps when doing that.  I guess that's what
happened with tuplelock-upgrade, insert-conflict-do-update* and
freeze-the-dead.
