This change makes the test feel more familiar with narrowing to a
typical usage by operating on a number of identical structure instances
and populating the same two new shadow variables symmetrically while
keeping the same testing and verification criteria for the extra
variables.
It changes the order of shadow vars allocation and freeing (now we 
allocate everything first, while previously the order was more 
complicated), but it does not matter, I think.

One nit below and I have to trust you with the output.
