I looked into the code now. lib/IO/Async/Loop/Glib.pm and especially
loop_once() (lines 295 ff.) seem to be the relevant parts.

After adding some prints, my impression is that the Glib::Timeout
just does nothing, at least it doesn't wait for 2 seconds (so maybe
this is a problem in libglib-perl?). FWIW: Adding a second iterate()
later changes the behaviour ...

Building against the newer libglib-perl from experimental (3:1.280-1)
leads to the same test failure.

Cheers,
gregor
