This is likely due to some know racy spurious failures already fixed on master
but (for some reasons) not on maint. The attached "backporting" patches should
take care of the issue. Can you confirm they works?

Thanks for the analysis. I've added you as the main author of the patch to
fix this bug (attached). Can you confirm that it works, and give your ACK
to the authorship attribution?
Thanks,
Stefano

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tests: fix spurious failure with older autoconf
Cherry picked from commit v1.11-1950-gba5a89b of 16-02-2012.
* tests/conffile-leading-dot.test: Relax grepping of 'config.status'
stderr, to cater for older autoconf. Issue revealed by a failure
with autoconf 2.63 on Cygwin 1.5.25. See also automake bug#11093.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tests: fix a timestamp issue, and other minor buglets
Cherry picked from commit v1.11-1988-g82616f0 of 21-02-2012.
Reported by Panther Martin in automake bug#10848. See also
automake bug#11093.
* tests/conffile-leading-dot.test: Add a proper '$sleep' invocation,
to avoid spurious failures on fast systems without sub-second
timestamp resolutions. Add other minor related and unrelated
improvements and fixlets since we are at it.

Subject: [PATCH] vala tests: fix spurious failures with older valac (<=
0.7.2)
See automake bug#11093.
The Vala compiler before the 0.7.3 release does not support the
'--profile' option. But some of our tests were relying on it, so
skip those tests if the detected Vala compiler is too old.
* tests/vala-vpath.test, tests/vala-mix.test, tests/vala-mix2.test
(configure.in): Require vala version >= 0.7.3 in AM_PROG_VALAC call.
