Interesting.  I run the test suite in parallel probably a dozen times
per day, and I've never seen this. However, I was able to trigger it
eventually with:

  for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  do
    (while ./t0025-crlf-auto.sh --root=/var/ram/git-tests/foo-$i -v -i >/tmp/foo-$i 2>&1
    do
      : nothing
    done
    echo FAILED $i
    ) &
  done

I get a few of the threads failing (in test 4) after 2-3 minutes. The
"-v" output is pretty unenlightening, though. I don't see anything
racy-looking in the test unless it is something with "read-tree" and
stat mtimes.
