test-pull-untrusted.sh would pass when run as root, but fail when run
as testuser. It turned out that the way the files were stored in the
repo when running as a testuser were different, which meant that a
different .file object was chosen for corruption. Except that file
turned out to be a symlink, so the echo "broke" actually just wrote
to the no_such_file symlink target, thus keeping the actual symlink
file's checksum the same and causing the pull-local to pass when it
should have failed.
