Sorry Craig, but I can't reproduce your problem here:

I've built procps 3.3.8-2 from sid successfully on a wheezy s390x system
(unpacking orig source + patch and then running debuild)

Here the snippet from the build output:
------8<---------------------------------------------------------
                === ps tests ===

Schedule of variations:
    unix

Running target unix
Using /usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards/unix.exp as board description file for target.
Using /usr/share/dejagnu/config/unix.exp as generic interface file for target.

Manual test seems fine, too:

mgrimm@build:procps-ng-3.3.8> debian/procps/bin/ps -V
procps-ng version 3.3.8
mgrimm@build:procps-ng-3.3.8> ./testsuite/test-schedbatch 18 &!
mgrimm@build:procps-ng-3.3.8> debian/procps/bin/ps --no-header -o comm,cls,nice -a
test-schedbatch   B  18
ps               TS   0
