Not sure what's the problem you hit. g/482 and g/487 are totally different two
test cases.

The g/482 calls _require_no_logdev due to it needs dmlogwrites device, and:

  commit 50f6d46410367586ab151b357e67393599eebd1c
  Author: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

      dmlogwrites: skip generic tests when external logdev in use

but the g/487 calls _require_logdev due to it needs an external log device, to
avoid the effection from the dm-error of data device.

The g/482 shouldn't fail if there's a SCRATCH_LOGDEV, it should _notrun. If it
failed you'd better to check that failure.

About how to run g/482 and g/487, as one requires logdev, the other one requires
no_log, so you should have two config sections at least, one have SCRATCH_LOGDEV,
the other one unset it. Then run two kinds of tests (with or without log device).
