The pretty format %(describe:abbrev=<number>) tells describe to use only <number> characters of the oid to generate the human-readable format of the commit-ish. This is not apparent in the test for %(describe:abbrev=...) because we directly tag HEAD and use that, in which case the human-readable format is just the tag name. So, create a new commit and use that instead.
