Perl 5.36 has reclassified the warning condition that this test
case used, so that the expected error fails to appear. Tweak
the test so it instead exercises a case that's handled the same
way in all Perl versions of interest.
This appears to meet our standards for back-patching into
out-of-support branches: it changes no user-visible behavior
but enables testing of old branches with newer tools.
Hence, back-patch as far as 9.2.
