It seems unfortunate to me that the output from -var-create gets tested so many
times but Daniel has just said that mi_gdb_test should really should used even
if you don't care about the result.  Real tests for -var-create e.g in
mi-var-cmd.exp need to be looked at more carefully (some test when -var-create
fails) but, sure, mi_create_varobj could be used when you don't care about the
result.
