Recent CI jobs on 'seen' has been failing the leak-check jobs, e.g.

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/11184876759/job/31096601111#step:4:1886

shows that t5310 and t5334 are having problems.

I randomly picked this topic and ejected it out of 'seen', and the
result is fairing a bit better. t5310 that failed 228/228 subtests
in the above run is now passing.  I didn't run this topic alone
under the leak checker, so it is entirely possible that there are
some unfortunate interactions with other topics in flight.

t5334 still fails 8/16 subtests just like the above run, exonerating
this topic for its breakage.
