Indeed, converted to a generic test.

It's the main/expected failure. The intent was to use the hexdump as the
determination for success/failure, but I had to determine when to break
out of the loop since the reproducer requires several iterations. I
figured the raw extent map output would be useful (the output of which
also calls out something is wrong when compared to the golden output) as
well as the content diff, so both are printed in the failure case.

I've added an additional comment here for the v2 I'm about to post. I
can just dump the extent map here and exit with status=1 if that is
preferred, but it seems appropriate to include the hexdump in the
failure scenario as well.
