The original thread below has details of what the original issue was and
why. It hit three tests specifically on this platform where die was invoked
(at least on one of them). Perl was invoked under the covers and the
completion code of 169 propagated back through git to the test framework.

That is:
test_must_fail git send-email --dump-aliases --to=janice@example.com -1 refs/heads/accounting
Which matches the case described elsewhere in this thread. It's
git-send-email.perl. test_must_fail is doing its job correctly by
diagnosing a real bug in git-send-email.perl, which we're grateful for
you having discovered. :)
Thanks,
