We could work around this by avoiding the &&-chain, but we can fix this and any future tests at once by unsetting that variable for our sub-tests. These are meant to be controlled environments where we test the test-suite itself; the outer test snippet should be in charge of the sub-test environment, not whatever mode the user happens to be running in.
