I get a similar issue to Ludo:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Path: parallel/test-http2-server-rst-stream
(node:13036) ExperimentalWarning: The http2 module is an experimental API.
assert.js:42
  throw new errors.AssertionError({

I also found a GitHub issue[0], stating that several other people have
similar problems with this specific test. It also seems that commit
a41cc020fd in the node git repo addresses this flaky test. We could
either backport the fix until it is included in a node release proper,
or disable the test for now.
