test: add missing initialization in test-assert

test-assert contains Boolean checks without initializing the Boolean to
false. It will be true thanks to previous tests in the file.

Block-scope all instances of `threw` so that side effects like this are
not an issue. Add missing initializations for `threw` in the tests
where it is missing.
