The issue I opened last year about the two other tests failing is still
unresolved
https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux/issues/281

There seems to be little ongoing development:
https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux/commits/master

My suspicion is that the maintainer is using debian or another slow
distro that still use tmux 2, which I believe make the test pass (at
leat it did when I tested it last year)
https://packages.debian.org/buster/tmux

There is no way in Python to specify which version of tmux this is
supposed to run against. This is one of the strength of GNU Guix :)

So:
- the change in behaviour between tmux 2 and 3 is not
important enough to be noticeable in any of my use cases,
- I have little time,
- the maintainer upstream is likely using tmux 2, 


all-in-all, this makes me say that an upstream fix is unlikely because I
can't write it myself and nobody else is likely to, either.

Thank you for maintaining Guix :)
