After experiments on the porterboxes for more architectures:

It seems ppc64(el) are the only two architectures in Debian (and Debian ports) affected. On any other architecture where it is built
(64bit archs except riscv64 which is too slow/hangs + i386) the test works.

If one can't figure out what is wrong immediately (which I understand), at least telling what calling it manually in the UI gives would maybe be helpful.
Or we really would need to disable that one on ppc64(el) - which is already in git but of course can be reverted.
