This is an intermittent test failure, which I experienced while trying
to upgrade to 0.8.1. I have only been able to reproduce it by running
the test suite repeatedly in a loop, and it's extremely timing-dependent
(when I tried to add additional debug logging, that perturbed the timing
enough that I could no longer reproduce it).

There is another intermittent test failure,
https://github.com/flatpak/libportal/issues/166, which is similarly
difficult to reproduce.
