Modifying setup_pxe to copy the syslinux.cfg file to
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default corrected the problem.

To see what's failing, I put the "--wait" functionality in an END{}
block so it always happens; the current method only works if the
script maintains control, which, as demonstrated above, fails for
the more interesting cases. I don't actually see why "--wait" is
even optional, it should be mandatory; at best, waiting could be
skipped if and only if test_cluster can guarantee that all tests
passed.
The above change showed me the error occurred when trying to create
the oscartst user. Now to debug that...
