It actually were 118 successful builds in a row before the first test
suite run was hanging.

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue since I did that. I'm now at 237
builds with ZTST_verbose=1 in a row without hangs. The latest 10
builds even ran the test suite 10 times in a row per build. I'll let
the builds continue for at least a few more days to check if I can
still reproduce the issue.

But I have a slight hope that enabling verbose output avoids some race
condition which is triggering this issue occasionally.

If setting ZTST_verbose=1 really avoids the issue, this may already
help to get rid of the build failures as I plan to also run the
official package builds with ZTST_verbose=1 -- mainly to get some more
details where they fail exactly.
