been around for a while. so yeah - i found the same thing you did - i just had
the email in my queue for most of the day... forgot to flush it. git master
bypasses using a shell now and just runs timeout directly. all the tests pass
for me.

note - you need to have the theme default.edj built in the build dir/tree for
tests to work. ensure its also accessible permission-wise or bad things happen.
