Is this still an issue? I am not aware that we ran into this one recently. The test itself was changed to output better debugging information in case of a failure since this was reported.

Haven't noticed it lately although I haven't been as meticulous about watching CI as I once was. Nonetheless, I think this can be closed. It can always be re-opened if it starts failing again.
