I tracked down the issue to commit
851ef517963d1e1966c4082530d5e87ba0a415ab "autotest: enable usage of
EXEEXT in AT_TESTED" and especially to the following part:

Reverting this part makes the test pass again. I also played with the
quotes and it came out that a "\n" put at the end of the line could be
the culprit of this. I hope this helps to find a fix for it.
