Could be.

Definitely not.  HOL-Proofs is am important indicator whether something
got utterly wrong in handling of thm values in Pure.  (Or would you like
JinjaThreads depend on ISABELLE_FULL_TEST also ;-)?)

The pain of introducting another condition seems bigger to me than to
raise the timeout.

So, (1) is my opinion.
