I've recently removed this self-test, because it was causing too much
false positives and requiring too much mucking & tweaking.

Anyway, to be extra safe and ensure nothing serious is going on, could you
please post the logs of this test?  They should be found in the generated
't/self-check-cleanup.log'.

This is the file whose content you should have posted, because the logs
of all failed/skipped files get copied in there.  Anyway, since only one
test is failing for you, in this case it's more efficient to just  post
the logs of that test ('t/self-check-cleanup.log', as I said above).

These files are generated by some Automake tests that check the expected
features of the Automake-generated test harnesses.  It is expected that
they might contain reports of failures or errors.  Nothing to worry about
here.
