One thing I don't understand about this and a few other patches in this
series: I've been getting passing GitHub Actions runs, including
linux32, even after that commit turned on the expensive jobs.

From your description it sounds like it should _never_ work, but it does
for me. It's possible there's something going on in my CI builds that
would cause the expensive tests not to run, but I don't think so. Am I
misunderstanding the problem? Or is there something missing from the
analysis?
