This change only affects malformed fonts that have glyphs with splines that go above the maximum ascent as specified in the font's hhea/os2 table. For that reason, any tests for this change would have to include a malformed font, so I did not write tests. If we want in-tree tests, we'll need to figure out how to include a malformed font to test against.
Please add a test case, Wine test suite already includes custom fonts, you can either use an existing font, or add a new one.
As I understand it, some fonts deliberately have glyphs larger than their metrics bounding boxes. Clipping them is almost certainly not a good idea.
