Maybe the automated regression should run with --random to be sure that dependencies between tests are shaken out. On the other hand, you really want your regression to be deterministic - maybe a second run with --random scheduled once a week or so?
While this, ignoring how random randomness can get, is possible, we probably wouldn't see constant failures or successes. It would be wise to solve this in WebKit itself, as similar problems could also appear in real-life usage.
For the Gtk port, it would make sense to empty the Skipped list, run all the tests, fill Skipped list with tests that generate new results and then start filling in bugs for tests that are failing or need implementation of specific features to succeed and add them to the Skipped as well. The layout tests would go green, and their number would increase as the bugs get fixed.
About JSC regressions on the Gtk buildbot - Qt was seeing a similar amount of regressions, but they disappeared after r38901 [1].
