Yes and no. These tests fail in my local system but not with same error message.
It is known that some CI test failures is difficult to reproduce locally due to system configuration and environment configuration(via KVM) in CI is quite different from local personal laptop so timing matters.
Also, it seems that these failures are intermittent. I waited for few days but it has not happened since, so it 's difficult to pinpoint what test timing issue is causing that.

Also, I admit that the test changes are masking this timing issues, but the changes are not wrong. If the original test author had used toLowerCase() initially, I don't think anyone would have objected as the test just checks for new characters without any distinction between lowercase/uppercase and this change would prevent this swing tests from failing.
