It does not work.  :(

In this case, I need to use

        atf_check -x -s signal:6 "echo foo | test_prog"

Even though test_prog exits with signal 6 (SIGABRT), the shell process 
does not (it exits normally).  The test case reports

        tc-se:Fail: program did not receive a signal


BTW, it does not appear that "-s signal:name" works.  I've tried ABRT, 
ABORT, SIGABRT, and SIGABORT and all fail with

        tc-se:atf-check: ERROR: Invalid signal name or number in -s option
