It needs further investigation, but it's unrelated to this RC. It's an
intermittent failure that we see sometimes but only ever on qemu. With
the amount of tests that we run, this is common - our process is to
investigate the failure and determine if the failure is a regression or
not. In this case, I determined that it was not a real regression, but I
did not run the right command to generate the report accordingly.

No regressions on arm64, arm, x86_64, and i386.
