So it looks like a Jenkins/git test interaction is the issue here. I'm wondering whether running the test with </dev/null and 2>/dev/null might make a difference when running in Jenkins. The tty where Jenkins was started is in a permanently disconnected state.

Mostly ignore the subtest failures, but still, would like to know why these subtests in particular.
