Yes.

Applied locally to my runtest script, tested, and confirmed it fixes
test 345, so I ran tests 1 - 565. Now test 345 passes, and only the
same 4 tests as normal fail (152, 358, 373, and 548). I can find no
tests that this causes a failure in.

That was a great catch, Phil. You can see it quite plainly:

[exim-build@tlyons ~/projects/exim/test (master)]$ vdir test-mail/exim-build
-rw------- 1 exim-build exim-build 0 2012-05-23 06:30 test-mail/exim-build
[exim-build@tlyons ~/projects/exim/test (master)]$ LC_ALL=C vdir
test-mail/exim-build
-rw------- 1 exim-build exim-build 0 May 23 06:30 test-mail/exim-build

I'll commit and push.
