Thomas is the person to ask. :)  See v1.6.3-rc0~176^2~3 (Test fsck a
bit harder, 2009-02-19):

which that cleanup tightened to test_might_fail.

But yes, I'm pretty sure it was for futureproofing, not for hiding
flakiness.  I think your patch does the right thing in changing it to
test_must_fail now that fsck exits nonzero.

Thanks,
Jonathan
