Good point. The origanal intention was to let t0027 pass, and fix the bug in convert.c in a later commit. (and rename NNO in a 3rd commit, that is postponed until we figured this out).

Looking at t0027, it turns out that the changes in the test matrix done in 1/2 are reverted in 2/2. This is not a good thing. Either (a) they should be marked as test_expect_failure in 1/2 and corrected in 2/2, or (b) 1/2 and 2/2 are squashed together and the noise in t0027 is minimal. I'll send a patch for (b) in a second.
