To paraphrase Will Rogers: "All I know is what I read in the
manual."
":help :autocmd-remove" says,
:au[tocmd]! [group] Remove ALL autocommands.
And as you discovered, ":help augroup-delete" says not to execute
:aug[roup]! {name}
if the group still contains an autocommand. So to do what you want
to do, you should use ":au! TestLeave" and not ":aug! TestLeave". I
don't think this behavior has anything to do with the VimLeave
event.
