It was tagged "unstable".  The test/README file says "unstable" means:
"The test is under development.  It shall run on demand only."

And, according to the same file, "check-all" is one way to demand that
even "unstable" tests are run.

So I guess then that this is all expected, and I should just be using
"check-expensive" instead of "check-all" if I don't want to see this
failure?
