I see it if some parts of the Emacs source changes -- then check-maybe
reports a failure.  But it goes away after a full check.  But doesn't
come back if I say check-maybe and electric-tests.  :-/

Yes, it must be doing that, but I'm also vague on what it actually does.
Is there anybody with any insights here?

Yes, I'm not seeing any issues either when testing interactively.

The electric tests are quite involved -- I've added João to the CCs.
Perhaps there's something extra that has to be done here for those.
