I think I got it. After running 'make maintainer-clean' in the validation tree 
I still have this 
files in testsuite left from previous validation:

tests/cabal/local01.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/local03.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/local03.package.conf/testpkg-1.2.3.4-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/local03.package.conf/testpkg-2.0-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/local03.package.conf/testpkg-4.0-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/local04.package.conf/newtestpkg-2.0-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/local04.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/local04.package.conf/testpkg-1.2.3.4-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/local05a.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/local05b.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/local06.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/local06.package.conf/testdup-1.0-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/local06.package.conf/testpkg-1.2.3.4-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/localT1750.package.conf/T1750A-1-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/localT1750.package.conf/T1750B-1-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/localT1750.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/localshadow1.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/localshadow1.package.conf/shadow-1-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/localshadow1.package.conf/shadowdep-1-XXX.conf
tests/cabal/localshadow2.package.conf/package.cache
tests/cabal/localshadow2.package.conf/shadow-1-YYY.conf
tests/cabal/package.conf.ghcpkg02/package.cache

(plus lots of other build artifacts in the testsuite). Deleting files listed by 
'git ls-files -o' 
solves the problem. I wonder how is it possible that - if this is really the 
cause - I am the 
first person that run into this problem?
