I believe this is now fixed, by commit 0a2a70539bdf42d59c9be5fcbc88a1c14743303a on core-updates. The problem turned out to be that GRUB's build system couldn't find 'freetype', because 'pkg-config' was missing from the build environment. This disabled font generation, as I discovered when I booted into a core-updates system and found that GRUB was unable to find its font. After I fixed that problem, I was pleased to find that the test suite started succeeding again as well :) I'm closing this bug now. Mark
