Confirmed, this is a trunk libattr bug present since Mike Frysinger's
redoing of its build system in January this year, which in effect
replaces the body of attr_copy_*() with 'return 0;'. I have a patch and
will submit it shortly. (With said fix, the test passes, so this is not
a coreutils problem.)
