You've shown the verbose output of only the final test, and it happened to pass. For the failing test, usually there's a good hint or two in the vicinity of a "fail=1" assignment. Since coreutils-5.1.2 is so old, I'm already marking this "bug" as "done", but you're welcome to continue discussion, and if it's a bug that affects the latest, I'll happily reopen it.
