When adding testcases I do prefer the addition of the test to appear
before the fix while the patch is under review. Makes it easy to see
that, yes the bug exists, and yes the later patch resolves it.

When the patches are actually committed for merging then it is
probably a good idea to reverse them. Thanks for the testing.
