Just to close the loop here, it looks like these failures have the same root cause I was tracking down during the last release: some platforms just need a little more time to flush their buffers. I increased the number of trips through the backend and they went away. Should fix about 26 tests across multiple platforms. Have a few other low hanging fruit to fix and then I’ll cut a release candidate.
On a side note, I don’t suppose there’s any way to report the number of test failures in a xenofarm result? I think that would be handy...

How do you know the values are equal? Note that the log only shows the first 4000 characters of the strings... (The code doing the truncation is in log_msg_result(), in lib/modules/Tools.pmod/Testsuite.pmod, if you want to try without.)
