That's an interesting one. I guess our CI didn't flag this
as the test is skipped without a controlling tty:
http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/coreutils-master

Also the test is skipped with a parallel make check!
I.E. this first command detects the fail, while the second skips the test:
  $ make -j2 check TESTS="tests/mv/i-3.sh"
  $ make -j2 check TESTS="tests/mv/i-2.sh tests/mv/i-3.sh"

So to handle both cases I'm updating the "release tasks" list to:
  setsid make check $(($(nproc) * 2)) # tests without controlling tty
  make check -j1 # tests with controlling tty

That should have been apparent in the test log immediately,
without you having to add debug.

In general we should allow these patches a little
while for review before pushing.

Hopefully the attached fixes up these issues.

thanks,
