t1450-fsck fails in test 10 "tag pointing to something else than its type", but only if I run it as part of the full test suite (with either `make test` or `make prove`).  If I run the test separately, it passes.

The output from running with GIT_TEST_OPTS="-v" is:

expecting success: 
	sha=$(echo blob | git hash-object -w --stdin) &&
	test_when_finished "remove_object $sha" &&
	cat >wrong-tag <<-EOF &&
	object $sha
	type commit
	tag wrong
	tagger T A Gger <tagger@example.com> 1234567890 -0000

	This is an invalid tag.
	EOF

	tag=$(git hash-object -t tag -w --stdin <wrong-tag) &&
	test_when_finished "remove_object $tag" &&
	echo $tag >.git/refs/tags/wrong &&
	test_when_finished "git update-ref -d refs/tags/wrong" &&
	test_must_fail git fsck --tags 2>out &&
	cat out &&
	grep "error in tag.*broken links" out
