Sounds good.

To be pedantic, I'll put

 check_detached () {
	test_must_fail git symbolic-ref -q HEAD >/dev/null
 }

 check_not_detached () {
	git symbolic-ref -q HEAD >/dev/null
 }

and add some more paranoid tests:

 test_expect_success 'checkout --detach without branch name detaches' '
        reset &&
	git checkout --detach &&
	check_detached
 '

 test_expect_success 'checkout --detach catches error in usage' '
	reset &&
	git checkout master &&
	test_must_fail git checkout --detach tag nonsense &&
	check_not_detached
 '

 test_expect_success 'checkout --detach moves HEAD' '
	reset &&
	git checkout one &&
	git checkout --detach two &&
	git diff --exit-code HEAD &&
	git diff --exit-code two
 '
