When you get to 300cd08225, your manual bisect shows this as bad:

  Bisecting: 0 revisions left to test after this (roughly 1 step)
  [300cd0822505a4bd308acd1520ff3ef0f20f8635] fixed issue #19
  $ ./manualscript.py 
  False
  False
  $ git bisect bad

When you hit the same commit with your automatic test, the output from
your script is different:

  Bisecting: 0 revisions left to test after this (roughly 1 step)
  [300cd0822505a4bd308acd1520ff3ef0f20f8635] fixed issue #19
  running ./autoscript.py
  False
  True

which would yield "git bisect good" according to the simplified scripts
you sent. I suspect your problem is in the test script.
