TPM2_Clear reprovisions the SPS ... that would make all currently
exported TPM keys go invalid.  I know these tests should be connected
to a vTPM, so doing this should be safe, but if this accidentally got
executed on your laptop all TPM relying functions would be disrupted,
which doesn't seem to be the best thing to hard wire into a test.

What about doing a TPM2_DictionaryAttackLockReset instead, which is the
least invasive route to fixing the problem ... provided you know what
the lockout authorization is.
