Actually, test_must_fail _is_ to be used to expect that the command
being tested to fail. The issue is with i18ngrep, where it is
rendered to a glorified "true" under the poison build. By writing
test_must_fail test_i18ngrep ...
you are saying that you expect test_i18ngrep to fail, but the point
of i18ngrep is not to fail under the poison build, so...
