In this case, there should be test cases written that properly tests 
this function.

The function is just part of the gegl_buffer_dispose(), which is part of 
the GObject destruction protocol. See 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/howto-gobject-destruction.html 
. The purpose of gegl_buffer_void() is simply to make sure the tile 
resources are freed.
