Hmph. I somehow suspect that the test also will pass if you changed
it like this:
test_must_fail false >errs 2>&1 &&
IOW, my suspicion is that the shell fails to find "git-p4" [*1*] and
that is why your `test_must_fail git-p4 whatever` lets your test
pass, which is different from the way you _want_ your test_must_fail
succeed, i.e. "git p4 submit" is run with the "--dry-run" option and
exit with non-zero status.
Of course, if the shell cannot find "git-p4", `errs` would not have
the string "Would apply" in it, so the next test also would pass.

[Footnote]
*1* As I do not use (nor install) p4, I cannot test "'git p4' works
but 'git-p4' should not work" myself, but by running t0001 with
a trial patch like the following, you can see that we do not
find the dashed form `git-init` on $PATH and the test indeed
fails.
