/usr/share/doc/fakeroot/README reads:

 fakeroot can be built to either use SYSV IPC or TCP for message passing.

 Cases for which the SYSV IPC version fails or causes problems but for
 which fakeroot-tcp has been observed to work well include the items
 listed below.

   * Multithreaded applications (using pthread)
   * Running under realtime-preempt kernel

Indeed, I can't get the tests to hang with fakeroot-tcp.

Adding the patch tag based on the above evidence.
