Thanks for a clear write-up.

It is not this patch that accepts such a failure as legit ;-).

"Accept such a death-with-sigpipe also as OK when we are expecting a
failure", perhaps?

These I understand.

This I don't.  Under what condition is it sane for this "cat-file
commit" to fail with sigpipe?

And this I do.

When you are coming up with this patch, you must have checked the
existing code around this area.  Did you notice that 126 is handled
differently between must_fail and might_fail?  Can you explain and
justify the difference?

One explanation I can think of is that the contributor who did
eeb69131 (tests: notice valgrind error in test_must_fail,
2013-03-31) did not notice that we do essentially the same thing in
might_fail and forgot to add it.  And it is not the fault of that
contributor, but the fault of the duplicated and poorly organized
code back then.

Adding the third variant in the way this patch does is making things
worse by inviting more mistakes.

How about doing something like the attached to consolidate the
existing two into one, and then build this third one on top?
