You can skip the test until upstream has provided a fix.

libminc passed custom flags to the nccreate() via its micreate() wrapper:

 ip->fd = micreate(ip->name, NC_CLOBBER|MI2_CREATE_V1); /*Create MINC1
format*/

These flags are passed along to nccreate() which is more strict in its
what it accepts.

nccreate() is also part of the legacy V2 API of netCDF, the V3 API and
its nc_create() should be used instead.

Kind Regards,
