OK, so "ls-refs: filter based on non-namespace name" (in the title) is a means to the objective 'ls-refs: make sure it honors namespaces" which is a bugfix?

The new test peeks at the protocol level, but wouldn't we be able to see the breakage by running ls-remote or something and observing its result as well, or is the bug only observable with test-tool and not triggerable by end-user facing git commands?
