That's very interesting.  I get the same problem.  I don't think
anything is wrong with your code.  I think something fishy is going on
with fish, but I don't know what.  It looks like it might even be a bug
in fish.  I would expect test -n to be the opposite of test -z, but that
is not true sometimes.

There are a few workarounds.

I find that test -z works fine.

Another way to test a variable is
    if test ab"$variable"cd = abcd; echo zero; else; echo non-zero; end
