Somehow I screwed up #613 and merged it with the tests failing and with the sentence I was actually using in the test inconsistent with the one I claimed to be using in the comment above. Also, even if I'd got it right, I wouldn't've actually avoided hitting the inconsistency in Intl.Segmenter's tokenization rules that that PR was specifically trying to avoid, because it considers 他有 (he has) to be one word; I should've used 她有 (she has) which the segmenter sees as two words. This fixes both mistakes.
