FWIW, I found the variablity here. It was triggered by running the test with -v or without -v, which caused clone to change its first "want" line to include or exclude progress messages, based on the tty-ness of stderr.
Adding a --quiet to the clone command means I can avoid this munging and hard code the length in the test vector. But I'm still against doing that here in case the protocol capabilities ever change in the future.
