There have been three failures (all on native-comp-speed2-master) over
the last three weeks pointing to these tests, which haven't changed in
the year-plus they've existed in tree. No test appears in multiple
failures, and all continue to pass daily on commercial GitLab (GCP)
runners using the same EMBA container image. They also pass locally
with "make check" and "make -j -C test SELECTOR=t check-lisp-erc". If
these tweaks don't fix the problem, they can be branded :unstable.
