Could you try running the test twice when you bisect ?
This way bisecting should give you the real first bad commit. 

Could you also try to find the line that fails in the 4th test ?
For example you could replace all the trailing "&&" in this test with a new 
line that contains "echo $?".

Thanks in advance,
Christian.
