This will succeed even if you have two or more instances of this
log, which will not help you avoid the mistake we saw in an earlier
iteration.
How about making sure that the prepared command looks reasonable
enough and we have only one, by doing something like this?
test_expect_success 'tracing a shell alias with arg shows trace of prepared command' '
cat >expect <<-EOF &&
trace: prepare_cmd: SHELL -c ${SQ}echo \$* "\$@"${SQ} ${SQ}echo \$*${SQ} arg
EOF
git config alias.echo "!echo \$*" &&
env GIT_TRACE=1 git echo arg 2>output &&
# redact platform differences
sed -n -e "s/^\(trace: prepare_cmd:\) .* -c /\1 SHELL -c /p" output >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual
'

You can fetch 'seen' and can find commit 05ebf54569, which is the
tip of your topic including a few "fixup" commits I made on top.

It hasn't finished running yet, but all the windows tests have
passed, so I'll happily go to bed now ;-)
Thanks.
