Digging a bit deeper, it seems that GNU Hurd does not have a functional
/proc/self link
(at least not Debian/Hurd 0.7).
$ uname -a
GNU hurd07 0.7 GNU-Mach 1.6+git20160114-486/Hurd-0.7 i686-AT386 GNU
$ ls -l /proc/self
lrwxrwxrwx 0 root root 1 Dec 31 1969 /proc/self -> 1
$ od -ta /proc/self/cmdline
0000000 i n i t sp [ 2 ] nul
0000011
And so this test will never succeed as-is.
A relevant mention of /proc/self shortcomings is here:

Hope this helps,
