Won't this only work with:

    test_expect_success FOO,THINGYOUWANT,BAR '...'

And not:

    test_expect_success THINGYOUWANT,FOO,BAR '...'

?

	$ case ,X,FOO,BAR, in
	  *,X,*)
		echo ok
		;;
	  *)
		echo not ok
		;;
	  esac
	ok
	$

Looks safe to me.  A * can match any string, including the empty string[1].
