Wouldn't this report have been better suited for bug-automake, especially now that you've gone through the hassle of setting that up as a real bug tracker?

With the attached patch applied, I've not encounterd the intermittent failure anymore in 100 tries. So I've applied the patch as a "bug-fixing patch" (as explained in HACKING), merged to master, and pushed. Regards, Stefano
