It is supposed to make sure that running git in another locale does not break features by modifying text that (internal and external) scripts parse. For a sanity check on the messages marked for translation from a translator's perspective, it is generally better to just look at the pot file. And from the end user's perspective, I don't know a better way to test than to just use git a little. As a side effect, GETTEXT_POISON keeps the test suite usable for exercising a copy of git configured for an actual other locale, which means that in the future the test suite could be used to check for problems due to differences between locales other than the translated messages (think: charset, collation order, etc).
