You need to override the location of the temporary file used by the
test, because mmp uses O_DIRECT, and O_DIRECT doesn't work on tmpfs.
Hence the new test you added (thanks for adding a regression test)
fails on developers' systems which have a tmpfs mounted on /tmp:

% mke2fs -q -F -o Linux -b 4096 -O mmp -E mmp_update_interval=1 /tmp/foo.img 100
mke2fs: MMP: open with O_DIRECT failed while writing out and closing file system

Take a look at how the test m_mmp_bad_csum handles this:

# use current directory instead of /tmp becase tmpfs doesn't support DIO
rm -f $TMPFILE
TMPFILE=$(mktemp ./tmp-$test_name.XXXXXX)

Could you fix and resend?  Thanks!
