Thanks for helping me through this code.

My conclusion is that the three tests that are broken by the use of
`handler-bind` are "bad" tests in the sense that they tested for
a behavior which corresponds to a failure of ERT (they verified that
ERT's error-tracing infrastructure is rendered inoperable by
a surrounding `condition-case`, which amounts to saying that ERT was not
working correctly when called within a `condition-case`).
