Thanks for the bug report. I'll look into this as soon as I have the chance.

Do you happen to know if there is a way to get a copy of p4 without
paying for it so that I can run the tests locally?

Given the commit that you bisected to, one likely possibility is that
the test is trying to create a reference with an unsafe name, in the
sense of `refname_is_safe()`. Is that possible? Do you happen to know
what Git reference names that test case wants to create?
