This appears to be the only failure here.

Does your test system perhaps not have tzdata installed, despite it being
Priority: required? I know that doesn't technically make it
build-essential - only a dependency from build-essential or Essential: yes
would do that - so if glib2.0 needs it for tests it should build-depend
on it, but in practice I suspect the official buildds all have it, which
would explain why we haven't seen this fail before.
