No worries! Thanks for having a look at the patch. Is there anything
that could be done to make this clearer in the commit message? (I find it
quite awkward to discuss quoting: will the reader understand which
quoting is part of my own formatting of the message vs which is part of
the quoting issue I want to get across!?)

This is indeed a problem...

Perhaps something along these lines (generic boilerplate
for any single-quote fixes, that should be adjusted for the
actual fix):

    In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:

        test_expect_success 'name' '
            multi-line test
            goes here
        '

    When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line
    test section is actually closing the lone single quotes
    that surround it.  To avoid confusion, minimize and/or
    eliminate the use of single quotes here.
