The reason was a race in gnulib's nap.h which has been fixed with:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=439b0e925f
For maintaining in a distribution, I'd recommend
* upgrading to coreutils-8.22, or
* patching nap.h for the tests to succeed, or
* skipping the affected tests.
Have a nice day,
