I grepped around and I think you got all of the cases. I think we can catch this in the test harness itself, though, with the following series:

  [1/2]: tests: make test_must_fail more verbose
  [2/2]: tests: make test_must_fail fail on missing commands
With this series, I get (on pu):
  $ ./t1503-rev-parse-verify.sh -v -i
  [...]
  eval: 9: git rev-parse --verify master@{4}: not found
  test_must_fail: command not found: git rev-parse --verify master@{4}
  not ok - 7 master@{n} for various n
