Ok, the above test is (a) already fixed in Sage 3.3 AFAWK and (b) does
not involve communication with Maxima via pexpect.
The debugging suggestion I posted was only relevant for the tests that
timed out.

No, if you do not set certain env variables tests create tmp files in
$SAGE_ROOT/tmp, so if the user running the test does not have write
permission there the test will fail to run. So either run the tests as
root if you used that to build Sage or alternatively set SAGE_TESTDIR
to some place where you have write access (IIRC the directoy needs to
exist), i.e.
export SAGE_TESTDIR=$HOME/tmp
There are known problem with the second approach we haven't fixed yet
