We can probably drop the "probably" ?

Out of curiosity:
What made the test fail, and does it pass noe ?

Thanks for debugging and cleaning up my mess.
The patch is correct, and I have one or two small improvements in the
wording.

How about the following:

According to its name, the test is designed for UTF-16-LE-BOM.
However, possibly due to copy&paste oversight, it was using UTF-32.

While the test succeeds (extra \000\000 are interpreted as NUL),
I myself had an unrelated problem which caused the test to fail.
When analyzing the failure I was quite puzzled by the fact that the
test is obviously bugged. And it seems that I'm not alone:
https://public-inbox.org/git/CAH8yC8kSakS807d4jc_BtcUJOrcVT4No37AXSz=jepxhw-o...@mail.gmail.com/T/#u

Fix the test to follow its original intention.
