FWIW (but don't think you need to change 'em) I'd do these as
(untested):

test_expect_success "builtin $p wordRegex pattern compiles" '
    git diff --no-index --word-diff >out 2>err &&
    # Or whatever out should be..
    ! test -s out &&
    grep fatal err
'

It's much easier to debug tests that use intermediate files with
--immediate --debug when they break, because you can just check out
what out and err contain. You can't do that if the output was
forgotten in some pipe.

Maybe I should add a bit into t/README about this ...
