I've tried running the test over 100 times, and it failed every time.
I've also tested it in a QEMU guest running GuixSD, and it still fails.
I will see if I can reproduce it on a totally different physical
computer and get back to you.

The version is "guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.11".  This version comes from
running "guix environment guix".

I just now tried the same tests using guile-next (which is version
2.1.2), and they still failed.

Commenting out that test-equals section did not hide the problem.

I tried the patch anyway, and unfortunately the test still failed.
