Yup - it seems that $1 et al don't persist as long as we hoped they
would under 5.9.5. See the changes test-harness-compat for details. I
have an item on my list to attempt to work out whether it's a problem
with 5.9.5 that should be flagged - or whether it's expected behaviour
for some reason. But our test passes now.
