Agreed. You don't want duplicate tests, though, so I would simplify the string to the simplest thing that would force you to fix the error.
" " for instance, might do it
This helps you isolate one problem to one test method.
If you foresee other boundary cases that might break that you want to protect against in the future, make methods for those, too.
If you find you're duplicating a lot of code, it might be time to refactor your tests. :)
