I left those out on purpose since the value should not be set until the thread 
cleans up and exits. So there should be no race condition.

These tests are not intended to test thread.detach(). detach() should be 
thoroughly tested elsewhere but I'll double check.

Me too. The initial response to the PR was that this might not be fixable and 
we don't want tests that occasionally fail with ASAN. We can't XFAIL these 
tests because they pass 90% of the time. We could mark them as UNSUPPORTED but 
then you lose test coverage with ASAN. Since the above changes should not 
change the functionality of the tests I think this is the best approach.
