This issue affects random_abort, schema_abort and timestamp_abort.

When a user specifies the -v flag to perform a verify only operation with ./test_schema_abort, ./test_random_abort or ./test_timestamp_abort, this operation is not performed under read_only circumstances and the originally provided database is not preserved (it is deleted).

A copy of the database remains at the same path but with .SAVE appended to it.

Only random_abort contains a preserve flag that can be set to true here, however this would also preserve test artefacts. schema_abort and timestamp_abort do not generate test artefacts but currently delete the given database when verifying.
