Yes, I do.

We do not care about the internal state, aborting early, we rather
care only if the whole loop body was executed. Running the test
test_expect_success 'witty title' '
for a in 1 2 3; do echo $a && false; done && echo done
'
not ok 1 - witty title
That is all we want to care about here?
Otherwise I may still have a misunderstanding.
Thanks,
