Sounds good. Just one nit:

Here, `file` is written as a 0-byte file, and...

-git add file &&
-git commit -m initial &&
-git branch b-symlink &&
-git branch b-file &&
-l=$(printf file | git hash-object -t blob -w --stdin) &&
-echo "120000 $l	symlink" | git update-index --index-info &&
-git commit -m master &&
-git checkout b-symlink &&
-l=$(printf file-different | git hash-object -t blob -w --stdin) &&
-echo "120000 $l	symlink" | git update-index --index-info &&
-git commit -m b-symlink &&
-git checkout b-file &&
-echo plain-file > symlink &&
-git add symlink &&
-git commit -m b-file'

-git checkout b-symlink &&
-test_must_fail git merge master'

... here we now use `touch` instead. We do prefer `>file` in this
instance, though, I think. At least we do not prohibit it.

Otherwise it looks very good!
