Thanks for the review @gnu-andrew

Yes, I am aware of both of those follow-up issues. Although they both try to fix the test and, indeed, both appear to have lowered the chance of a failure, neither of them was 100% successful. So, I have been waiting for a proper test fix upstream (which is pending but seems not to be imminent). I was also hoping that I could maybe help out with an upstream fix but have not had the time to do so.

We could continue on that course or we could go ahead and push both these patches as is and ignore any failure in the test. Do you have any opinion on how to proceed?
