That failure is not coverage-related, but as it turned out 9e5da3d055
(add: use separate ADD_CACHE_RENORMALIZE flag, 2019-01-17) made t0025
rather flaky:

When reading those old commit messages and discussions in the
afternoon, I was wondering what "random test failures" actually meant,
since it was not stated explicitly that it was coverage-related. For
all we know it could have been "general" test flakiness that happened
to manifest under the higher load of a parallel test run.
