I cloned the git repo (very handy :)) and had a look, but I can't
reproduce the test failure, not even when running them manually under
high load.

Some observations:

I noticed that the non-perl-test output comes before t/02test.t while
it comes later (after the "ok 3" of t/02test.t) for me. I thought this
might be a parallelization problem but the test was run with -j1, and
it also passes for me with -jN.

What's this 11? A timeout?

Maybe related: the last passing test is "timing results test", the
7th test would be (line 47):
    like($@, qr/^Caught FreeContact timeout exception:/);


Sorry for being not able to provide more hints; maybe someone is able
to see what's going on here ...


Since the upstream author is also in Uploaders, I'm adding a CC :)
