guaibasaurus just failed in a way I'd not seen before:

Inspection of the diffs makes it depressingly obvious what happened:
the concurrently-executing "alter_table" and "with" scripts both create
short-lived tables named "test".  Given the right timing, those tests
stomp on each other.  This seems to have been there a long time;
surprising we'd not noticed it before.

Moral: choose names less generic than "test" for globally-visible
objects.  I wonder if there's some way we could check for such
conflicts automatically?
