Something strange indeed is going on. There are many (seemingly unrelated tests) all failing with this same sort of failure.

See: #119822

Git bisect says: 82b1f2a

But I don't believe that. Something else is going on.

OK, gitbisect was off by one, it appears to be: c3839e1. It fails on many different seeds with that commit.

@jbaiera I am gonna assign this issue and the others to y'all. There's something strange in the neighborhood.
