I see many problems and difficulties in those tests and with those tests 
that probably make those tests not rehabilitatable, not improvable.

I believe those tests are not correct and, the good news is, I think 
they should just be removed.

*If* we need to test 'vertical-align: sub' and 'vertical-align: super', 
then we can create 2 manual tests (4 tests or even 8 tests since we 
would want to be testing each 2 vertical writing-modes and at least 3 
text-orientation: sideways-left, sideways-right and upright) with, say, 
water's chemical formula H20 and geometry equation a²+b²=c² like in
http://www.gtalbot.org/DHTMLSection/vertical-align-values.html
and then ask the tester if the "2" is on the left/right of H and O and 
if the 2s are on the left/right of "a", "b" and "c".

In the CSS2.1 test suite, we use 2 manual tests for testing 
'vertical-align: sub' and 'vertical-align: super':

For your information:

"
The Ahem font has a subscript Y offset in its OS2 table of 143 (on a
1000 grid) and a superscript Y offset of 453.
(...)
[there is] no requirement for using the font's metrics for subscript and 
superscript offsets.

[Addendum:
I just noticed 2 other tests involving Ahem font and 'vertical-align: 
sub'
