Already reported in:
  <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12522>
(but thanks for the extra details).

This is a low-priority bug, since the failures are spurious and the tests
are still passing for me (I still have valac 0.16.1).  But of course, if
anyone wants to take a shot at this bug, patches are very welcome.
