This is an excerpt of test/src/fns-tests.el with a few lines added at the end to invoke Testcover. It contains two nearly identical tests which should both pass, but one passes and one fails. If you then edit the file and comment out test-cycle-assoc (the one that passes) and run the test again, then the failing test will pass. I've reproduced it both in batch mode (without TEST_LOAD_EL=no) and interactively.
