The tests were modified here:

https://github.com/samtools/bcftools/commit/e43ca8c70bbc78a4ef29be723c60a2ec7a029436

The difference was introduced here:

--- a/vcfnorm.c

+static inline int has_non_acgtn(char *seq, int nseq)
+{
+    char *end = nseq ? seq + nseq : seq + UINT32_MAX;   // arbitrary 
large number
...

Changing UINT32_MAX above to (UINT32_MAX >> 2) allows the tests to succeed.
