Is it really needed to check the memory after the end of the string?
Does an application depend on this?
--- cut ---
  memset(dest, 'X', sizeof(dest)-1);
  /* never read past the buffer, when we check the result */
  dest[sizeof(dest)-1] = '\0';
ret = pstrcpy_s(dest, sizeof(dest), small);
  ok( !ret && !lstrcmpA(dest, small), 
      "got %d and '%s' (expected '0' and '%s')\n", ret, dest, small);

For my tests with buffers, i found it useful to test with:
- buffer present, but size is 0
- buffer one byte smaller as the string (no space left for the '\0')
- buffer large enough for the string, but no space left for the '\0' 
- buffer exact as needed
- buffer one byte larger as needed
- empty source string
- NULL source
- NULL target
This allow you to verify, how the terminating '\0' is handled.
Did you test with invalid pointers (crash / handled graceful)?
