The situation is clearer if you look at the updated ChangeLog entry
on the trunk (note the first URL):

        * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX.  It appears to fail
        with EACCES rather than EPERM.  Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
        http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
