I pushed my patch to the scratch/nonspecial-handlers branch.  If you run

    make -C test files-tests SELECTOR='\"non-special\"'

you will see the relevant tests,
files-file-name-non-special-notify-handlers being the one which
currently fails.  Maybe it's just a matter of binding
file-name-handler-alist to nil again for those operations, not sure.

PS we should probably update test/Makefile.in to require less escaping
for SELECTOR.
