This looks fishy---if argc==3 and the first one is "--silent", only the <pattern> is left in argv and before taking <string> out of the argv, we need to ensure argc is still large enough, but I do not think that is done below:

So str here would be NULL and/or *argv++ would have given you an out-of-bounds access already.

Not that it matters _too_ much as this is merely a test helper and it would not hurt anybody as long as our callers are careful.

OK. Have we cleared have_reg_illseq shell variable before we reach this point? If not, we should (think: environment variable end user had before starting the test).

Style:
	triggers_undefined_behaviour () {

My first two readings of this patch mistakenly told me that the name of the function was an instruction to the test to trigger an undefined behaviour to see what happens, but this helper answers a question "does the given engine trigger an undefined behaviour (with the test data we are going to throw at it)?", right? Perhaps rename the helper to "triggerS_undefined_behaviour" would reduce the risk of inviting such a misinterpretation.

... and the return value is true for "yes it would trigger undefined behaviour" and false for "no it would not".

Can we do something to these overlong lines, by the way?

Much easier to read than the ILLSEQ prerequisite, I would think, even though the overlong lines are annoying.

Nice to be able to drop one case arm from here.  Thanks.
